Note: Articles for individual games can be found beside each game score under heading 'RECAP' as Gm# (source)

NOTE: The Vernon Museum & Archives does not have the physical copies of the Vernon Daily News after October 1976 to the end of June 11,1982. However, they do have the PDFs so, I have extracted the sports page from those as needed. These pages may contain more articles than the one I have listed.
