Storm roll by North Durham


The Storm produced another 2-0 victory in the second game at the Clarington Tournament to remain undefeated and without even giving up a goal. The opponent this time was the North Durham Blades who were considerably strong; so the shutout by Asia was well deserved.

The Blade forwards were aggressive forecheckers and dumped and chased the pucks throughout the game. Our defense held up well and first year player Madeliene showed a lot of poise as she dumped the puck past the charging Blade forwards. The first goal was created by S.K. who directed a shot at the North Durham net and the shot was redirected by Jackie who scored her second goal of the tournament. The goal held until the third period when Mari directed a long shot at the North Durham net. The goalie stopped the shot but temporarily lost sight of the puck in the crease. Meanwhile Mari had charged at the net and poked the loose puck into the net before the goalie could smother the puck.

Other games had Peterbourgh defeating Clarington 1-0 and Guelph defeating Durham West 4-1. So the current standings are:

1. North York
2. Clarington
3. Guelph
4. North Durham
5. Peterborough
6. Durham West
