Half Way to Provincials

Well three down and three go on the march towards the Provincial Championships. The Storm had a more difficult time with the Leaside Wildcats this time around but still pulled off a 2-0 win.

The Storm came out skating hard in the first period, didn't give up a shot on net and came away with 1 goal lead. However, the second period was very sloppy and Kendra had to cover up for some weak defensive play. Powerplay goals by Marley and Kailee was all that the Storm needed this night to keep the undefeated streak alive at 8 games. The stretch of 4 consecutive 1-0 losses is just a faint memory now as the offense has finally caught up with the defense. Kendra recorded her 5th shutout and has not given up a goal in 3 games.

The win gives the Storm a 3 point lead over Scarborough in playdown games. The current playdown standing are:

North York 3-0-0, 6 pts
Scarborough 1-0-2, 4 pts
Etobicoke 0-1-1, 1 pt
Leaside 0-3-1, 1 pt
