There are no longer any teams in the Midget B tier with under 100 minutes in penalties as the Storm received 6 minor penalties against North Simoce to reach the century mark. North Simcoe received 8 penalties for a total of 14 in the game. This exceeded the total by the same two teams last month in Midland when the same referees handed out 12 penalties. According to my calculations, if we played every game with those referees we would have 264 penalty minutes. Even Jackie got a penalty, her first of the season.
Oh, did I mention that the score was 0-0. The two teams spent so much time killing penalties that no one got around to scoring. Actually the frequent whistles and penalties robbed the game of any flow. The Storm who are used to good old fashion up and down hockey could never get going. Kendra had her 4th shutout of the year and need to make some difficult saves to preserve the single point.
The tie keeps the Storm undefeated streak in league play alive at 6 games. The Storm are now just 1 point behind 7th place Vaughan with one game remaining in the season.
