The Storm have been perfect so far this weekend with 3 straight shutout victories to qualify for Sunday afternoon's championship game. The Storm were better than the Clarington Flames in every area of the game - except maybe bodychecks - as they out hustled, out skated, out checked, out shot and out scored the host team.
Bianca made some difficult saves to earn her second shutout of the weekend. It was a tight game early on but the Storm took a 1-0 lead in the first period. Mari jumped onto the ice on a line change with the puck in the Flames end. She charged towards the Clarington net, picked up a pass from Sheri and fired the puck past the Flame goalie. The Storm broke the game open in the second period with some considerable pressure on the Clarington defense. During one scramble Gabby picked up a rebound following a shot by Mari to fire the puck into an open net with the goalie down. Just over a minute later Kailee scored again on a goalmouth scramble to make it 3-0. In the final period, Mari made it 4-0 as she drove at the net from the right side, cut in front of the net and beat the Clarington goalie as she went down.
The win put the Storm in an enviable position going into the final game on Sunday afternoon. They get to go to the game fresh while their opponent will have to get up early in the morning to play and elimination game. The two teams fight for the spot in the final game are Peterborough and North Durham.
