[1] Calgary Baseball LLC had promised to significantly renovate the aging Foothills Stadium as part of an ambitious plan for the team.

A month later, on December 10, commissioner Mike Stone announced that he had revoked the franchise, stripping Calgary Baseball LLC of its ownership.

Despite the short time frame, the Vipers managed to build a quality team on the field, finishing second in the Northern division in both halves of the season.

On June 13, 2006, a string of bean balls in the first two innings touched off two major brawls between the Vipers and their provincial rivals, the Edmonton Cracker-Cats.

The resulting melee was so violent that the umpires sent both teams off the field, and suspended the game for over an hour to consult with league officials.

During the season, outfielder Darryl Brinkley became the first minor league baseball player of the modern era to achieve a .400 batting average.

[13] The Vipers won the first game of the final series against the Gary SouthShore RailCats, 7–6, on a two-run, walk-off home run by Carlos Duncan.

[18] Then, the Vipers traded pitcher John Odom to the Laredo Broncos of the United Baseball League for ten bats.

Odom was unable to enter Canada and was turned away at the Canadian border due to an unspecified criminal charge on his record.

In the playoffs the Vipers won their first round series against the Capitals to win their second straight GBL North Division championship.

(The Orange County Flyers, who won the title the previous year, were originally a league-owned team before they were sold to their current private ownership.)

They will be managed in the AWL by former Montreal Expo legend Boots Day, who also serves as bench coach for the parent GBL team.

[21] The Vipers defeated the San Luis Atleticos, 8–1, in the AWL Championship Game shortened to eight innings due to rain.
