The sophomore Vipers will return to the United States Premier Hockey League’s Midwest West Division, looking to build on its first season with a change of venue.Formerly the Kasson Vipers, the squad is heading into the city, moving 20 miles down Highway 14 to Rochester where the team will play at the Graham Arena Complex at the fairgrounds.Team owner/general manager Todd McIlrath said the team was more than happy with its opening season in Kasson, a small town between Rochester and Owatonna, and the sole reason for the move is to play in an arena with more seating and additional space for the team.“Actually, the hockey market in Kasson was awesome,” said McIlrath in a telephone interview.

We weren’t necessarily looking for something better, just space really.”McIlrath is hopeful the Kasson faithful will continue to support the team and make the short trip into Rochester.“I sure hope so,” said McIlrath. Add a description about your page or projects. We expect to maintain a decent amount of our fanbase.”“We have the same staff, a very similar logo, the same color scheme. We’re excited to see where it goes over the next couple years. “The good thing was, we built some really strong relationships with youth hockey, players, parents and coaches. Team History and Standings I know Nik (Adamek – Blades’ Coach/GM) well. We’re just getting some new digs,” added McIlrath.Other than the move down the street, the Vipers will continue to build off the grown pains it went through in the opening season and look to climb higher in the Midwest-West standings – last season the Vipers finished at 10-31-0-2, wrapping up the eighth and final playoff spot in the nine-team division.“Last year we were sort of recruiting from a blank slate and that was fine, as a staff, we were able to mold this into whatever we wanted to,” said McIlrath adding it was difficult being a team with no record or history to stand by.The benefits of having a returning core of players as well as players and parents who can relay their own experiences to others should help the team attract players as well.“In today’s day and age in junior hockey when there’s 150 teams in America, it’s important that people are able to reach out and kind of talk to each other, discuss one product against another,” said McIlrath.One benefit to a year of experience, and a turnaround season for the Steele County Blades out of Owatonna, should be a strengthening of a great geographical rivalry that existed instantly.The two teams played their best games against each other.“I think that kind of rivalry will kind of always exist.
