Storm Shows Off its Offense

The number 2 offense in the tier crushed Leaside 6-0 this afternoon to extend its winning streak to 6 games. The overmatched Leaside team has now lost both regular season games by identical 6-0 scores. Leading the charge was a former Wildcat, Heather, with 2 goals. Other goals were scored by Rebecca B, Vanessa, Paige, and Madeleine. Nicki was again not very busy but held up her end to record her 5th shutout.

Since starting the season with 2 losses, the Storm have only lost 2 games in the past 15. With 23 points and 3 games remaining, this season's team may surpass the highest point total by a Storm Midget B team (26 points) in 05/06. In addition, the team has scored 44 goals and will definitely finish with the most goals scored by a Storm Midget B team in one season. The04/05 team scored 45 goals.

The area with the best improvement has been in penalty minutes. Despite the crack down in obstruction penalties, this team has reduced its penalty minutes and is 9th in the tier. Last year, the Storm was the most penalized team in the tier which reflects the quality of the skating and passing being played this season.
