Another quick start leads to win


So far this season, the Storms best period has been the first. For the third game in a row Amanda scores an early goal and the Storm hang on to narrowly beat the North Halton Twisters 1-0. This game was a real nail-biter and included a penalty to kill late in the third period as well as a penalty shot. The Storm was also short a number of bodies - Lauren F, Maddy, Genevieve and Bianca.

The Storm did bounce back from last Sunday's game and battled North Halton throughout the game. Both teams had some great scoring challenges but the goalies were the stars today. Asia earned another well deserved shutout and made the stop on the penalty shot. The Storm took a number of penalties in the latter part of the game and Alicia, Jackie, Kailee and Gabby did a great job in holding off the Twisters on the powerplay.

The standings are close with 5 teams within 1 point of each other. The next game is against Mississauga on Monday.
