Facing off against the Cream of the Crop in the NEHL American the Vipers were up to the challenge as they out skated, out worked and outplayed the dynamic Falcons for much of the game. Trailing 1-0 in the first the Vipers would go onto score 4 unanswered goals and open up a 4-1 lead. JT Chamberlain would score 2 first period goals on identical plays as his line mates would provide some solid fore checking and with Noah Maercklein and Brendan White working over time in the corners, Whitey would center an amazing pass to the high slot where JT would bury both chances for the 2-1 Viper lead after 1. The Vipers would go up 3-1 as Kyle Hentosh would finish off a 2 on 1 with Dante Maribito and then Ross Wahl would stretch the lead to 4-1 as he came off the bench on a perfect line change just in time to finish off another 2 on 1 with Maribito again as the 98s would go up 4-1 with 5 minutes left in the second. The Falcons would cash in on a fluke goal with just 1.9 seconds left in the first period which would give them some energy.  The Falcons would cut it to 4-3 with 7 minutes left as the Vipers struggled to hold the late push by the Flacons, the with under 2 minutes left the Falcons would tie the game at 4. A solid effort by the Vipers went by the boards as they were only able to squander a point but the team was very happy with their effort

Looking to bounce back after a poor performance that morning the Vipers came out flying and scored 4 goals in a 6 minute span of the first period to roll 5-1. The Vipers controlled the game from the start and utilized their speed and puck possession skills down low to maintain constant pressure on the Red Rangers. Kyle Lynch (2-2-4) Kyle Hentosh (2-1-3) and Dante Maribito (1-1-2) provided all the scoring while Noah Maercklein added a helper. Nick Fiorientino was solid between the pipes

Parity did not start of so well for the 98s as they couldn't get out of the gates and played one of their poorest efforts in their own end in some time. Turnovers on the blue line is what did them in as it was a problem the entire game, on the offensive end the Vipers had plenty of chances but in the end did not show the urgency around the cage that helps produce results in this very disappointing performance. Kyle Hentosh would tally the lone goal for the Vipers as the only time any forwards decided to go near the cage it resulted in the goal, Kyle Lynch and Dante Maribito picked up the assists

The Vipers who would be playing in their second tournament final in 3 weeks were looking to come out on the plus side in this one as they took on the host Cyclones. The Vipers would get on the board first as Noah Maercklein would slide one through the 5 hole for a 1-0 lead after 1 period, Brendan White and Ryan Connearney would pick up the helpers. Dante Maribito would score the next  2 goals on identical plays as he took advantage of a lot of open space swung the net and deposited his goals short side. JT Chamberlain would assist on the first and Ryan Connearney and Kyle Hentosh would pick up assists on the second. The Cyclones would cut the lead to 3-1 late in the second but would really never threaten after that as Kyle Hentosh slid a backhand through the 5 hole midway through the third to ice this one, Heath King would add an assist on the play. The Vipers showed some nice discipline in the third as the hosts resorted to some questionable play taking 5 penalties and a misconduct in the 12 minute third period.  Goaltending and defense did a fine job all weekend only giving up 3 goals the entire tournament, while playing without the sick Alex Delvento, the Forward units also responded well playing shorthanded as Kyle Lynch missed the entire weekend as well as he recovers.

In a game that was dominated by the Vipers territorially they had trouble solving the strong goaltending of the Predators. Ross Wahl, Dante Maribito and Kyle Hentosh would all score twice and Maribito would add a helper to pace the offense. Aaron McDonnell would play well in the net and newcomer Steven Tettoni would play a solid game on the blueline.
