Well the quarterfinal match up was against the Norfolk Hericanes who finished 7th out of 8 teams in the powerful West Division in the LLFHL with just a 5-13-6 record. But we quickly learned that there are no weak teams in the West. Norfolk beat the Storm in every aspect of the game, skating, puckhandling, passing and shooting. They won just about every battle for the puck and stripped Storm players of the puck throughout the game. They also walked away with a convincing 4-0 win.
But it was a valuable lesson on how to be aggressive on the puck. We will likely see similar efforts from teams that actually qualified for the Provincial Championships (yes, Norfolk did not qualify).
In other Storm news, the Midget A team finished 3rd in their Pool and qualified for an Elimination Round but failed to move on. The Midget BB team came f1st in their pool and moved on the the quarterfinals. As of midnight the scores for the Midget BB game had not been posted or had the games of the other Midget B quarterfinal games.
