The Vernon Vipers captured a record sixth national title, and second in a row, with an 8-1 rout of the host team Dauphin Kings at the 2010 RBC Cup. Vernon added the 2010 crown to titles won in 1990, 1991, 1996, 1999 and 2009, putting it two ahead of the Prince Albert Raiders (1977, 1979, 1981, 1982)who are the only other team to win at least four. The Vipers also become the first team to win back-to-back championships since the Vernon Lakers in 1990 and 1991.

The Vipers will try to become the first team ever to win three consecutive National Junior A Championships at the 2011 RBC Cup, which will be held next May in Camrose, Alta.
