Another snow storm threatened a game between North York and Etobicoke but this one got played and produced a 1-0 win for the Storm. Last night was a rescheduled game after the December 23 match had been cancelled as a result of another snow storm. The win means the Storm now have a modest 3 game streak going with 4 games remaining in the season.
The only goal of the game was scored by Sheri who skated along the boards and cut in to the net jamming the puck past the Dolphin goalie. Bianca celebrated her birthday with a well deserved shutout, her second one of the season. The Dolphin team never gave up and forechecked agressively. It was a tense finish to the game as Mari and Lauren N took penalties 16 seconds apart and the Storm played the last 1:40 two men short. Etobicoke then pulled their goalie in attempt to get the tie. When the buzzer went off the puck was actually loose in front of the Storm net with the goalie down. Kudos to Jessica R, Jackie and Jessica B who did a terrific job killing off the penalty.
