The Storm almost skated away with a win today against North Simcoe. However, the clock and Zamboni driver conspired against us and the team had to settle with another 1-1 tie. The Zamboni driver was slow to clean the ice and with the game curfewed at 1:45, the game ended with 5:07 remaining on the clock and Storm players buzzing around the North Simcoe net.
Strong skating continues to characterize this year's Storm team as another top tier team had to hang as the buzzer went. The North Simcoe head coach was overhead commenting that the early buzzer helped them salvage a point.
The lone Storm goal was scored by Amanda but the game could easily have been won by either Marley or Maryssa who both had excellent scoring chances. Rushed shots continue to plague this team and the girls are better shooters than they exhibit in games. We expect the team to break out sooner or later.
Next game is December 15 in Orillia.
