Perfect Storm

Storm Warnings: December 6th, 2016

These girls are getting in shape now for sure. Another weekend. And another two tough games. And another two games with short benches. Only 9 skaters for both games. But no one ever complains that they didn’t get enough ice time on this team.  If anything, too much maybe.  Just think what it will feel like to the girls to get back to having another three skaters.

Saturday the girls traveled to Hardisty to take on Irma and they had a two hour road trip that made them very sluggish in the first period,  but they certainly picked it up in the second and third period.

Ashley ‘ Hacksaw’ Hunter named the player of the game.  She was moved from the wing to center ice and was in everyone face on the fore-check and winning face offs.Ashley is strong in the slot and battles for the puck

On Sunday the girls hosted the Lakeland Jaguars and team came out pumped up getting the first goal of the game. The Storm doesn’t score a lot of goals, so this really motivated them to play, in fact sometimes we only get less than 10 shots on goal, so everyone was quite excited. Ashley “ Hacksaw” Hunter scoring, assisted by Jenna ‘ Precious’ Poitras and Jelena ‘ Prime Time’ Parr.  ‘ Prime Time’ also scoring the second goal of the game assisted by ‘ Hacksaw’ and Chloe ‘ Mouse ‘ Bendixen.

Jelena was named the Storm Trooper of the game. She normally plays on defense but because of missing players, the coaches decided to play with 3 D and go with two lines. “ Prime Time’  was moved to play center and was certainly a force. Jelena is the team captain and one of the most aggressive players on the team; she leads by example
