The Silverbacks will once again benefit from a wild and crazy cheering section which will follow them on the road to Vernon.

Following a well received bus trip to Vernon for Silverbacks Fans on Friday November third which was paid for including tickets to watch the ‘Backs play the Vipers another free trip is being offered on Dec. 30.

The last trip saw the bus packed with Silverbacks loyalists dressed in crazy costumes such as a big hairy gorilla and fans sporting tutus and dyed-purple hair.
