A busy weekend for the Erie North Shore Storm Peewee Majors with a win, a loss and a tie!
11/15/13 – Storm vs. Essex Ravens A
Friday November 15 the Storm played on home ice against the Essex Ravens. Goalie Connor Axford took his place in net and the team hit the ice. The powerful Storm offense outshot the Ravens this period and got on the board first with a powerplay goal by Ryan Mucha assisted by Ethan Litster. Twenty seconds before the period buzzer Essex tied it up and the two teams went into the second determined to break the tie and come out ahead. The Storm once again outshot the Ravens in the second but were unable to put the puck in the net as the score remained tied going into the third. Unfortunately in this period the Storm ran out of steam allowing three unanswered goals, ending the game with a 4-1 loss. Essex hammered Goalie Connor Axford with 12 shots in the third ending up with 22 shots on net with the Storm getting 17. These late night games really take their toll on the team!

Great job Storm!
