Vaughan 3, Storm 0: Still a Good First Step

Last night's exhibition game against Vaughan was fast paced but lacked intensity which would explain why there were no penalties called. The visitors walked away with a 3-0 win despite some excellent scoring changes for the Storm in the 2nd half of the game. Still, it was a good first step in team building and indicates where the team needs work. With 12 new players this season, people will need some time to become familiar with each other. There are many players either new to rep hockey or the Midget level that will need to adjust to the speed of the game.

Lot of good things were on display on the ice last night: good team speed, very aggressive forechecking by Maryssa, Marley and Sheri, some signs of strong playmaking by Mari and Genevieve and plenty of enthusiasm.
