10/04/13 – Storm vs. Belle River Canadiens AA
Friday October 4 the Storm hosted the Belle River Canadiens AA team at Harrow Arena. The first period saw the Storm playing strong defensively but only generating one shot on net, with goalie Connor Axford facing ten shots. Halfway through the period Belle River got lucky and managed to slip one in the net getting on the board first. In the second period Austin Marr answered that goal with one of his own, assisted by Franco Shaften. Unfortunately Belle River got lucky again thirty seconds later as they pushed a loose puck in the net behind Connor. They didn’t hold onto the lead for long as Owen Stannard popped the puck in the net five minutes before the period buzzer with help from Ryan Mucha and Ethan Litster. The Storm played much stronger offensively during this period outshooting their opponent 12-7. With the score tied the Belle River team showed their frustration by drawing 2 penalties in the second, and then 2 more in the third. The Storm played smart avoiding any penalties throughout the entire game and remaining at full strength. In the third Belle River continued to play aggressively but the Storm stood up to them while avoiding any retaliation penalties. The Storm tried hard to keep the puck out of their net but Belle River’s luck had not worn off and they slipped one more goal in the net breaking the tie and winning the game. The Storm played a great game against a AA team and came very close to beating them! The shots on net were 21-18 in Belle Rivers favor with a final score of 3-2. Fantastic job out there Peewee Majors!!
10/06/13 – Storm vs. Southpoint A
Sunday October 6 the Peewee Majors travelled to Leamington to take on the Southpoint Capitals. With goalie Nate Jacobs between the pipes the Storm hit the ice expecting to play a hockey game but Leamington seemed to have something else in mind. Before the game was over Leamington would log an astounding seventeen penalties, including the removal of their coach! The Storm sustained a few of their own, with a season high of ten penalties drawn! The first period saw the Storm enjoying many powerplay opportunities as Leamington went to the box seven times! The first goal of the game was scored on the powerplay by Ethan Litster with help from Kristian Pelling and Rebecca Misiasz. In the second period Leamington continued to draw penalties with another 7 trips to the box, while the Storm drew four. During one of the Storm penalty kills Robbie Brush managed to get one past the goalie with the game winner, assisted by Kristian Pelling. Just before the end of the period with both teams at full strength the Storm struck again with a goal by Ryan Mucha assisted by Daniel Price. Both teams once again spent time in the box in the third period, and during a brief time at full strength Leamington managed to get their one and only goal of the game. All the powerplay opportunities helped the Storm earn a total of 39 shots on net while their opponent only had 11. With a final score of 3-1 the Peewee Majors add another win to their record!
