The U11 Rep Tom Prentice & Sons and the U13 Rep Curry Chevrolet teams both participated in our annual home tournament and both took home the title of A champs this past weekend.
The U11 team hit the ice to represent the Storm at the annual U11/U13 Rep Gold Classic Jan. 30-Feb. 1 and what a show they put on.
The Storm kicked off the tournament Friday night against the well-known powerhouse team, Clearview. Knowing it would be a battle, the Storm came out strong and never let up for a moment. With resilient offence and defence, the Storm earned a very well-deserved tie.
Bright and early Saturday morning, the Storm returned to the rink for their second game of the tournament. While the temperature outside was well below freezing, the Storm was red-hot on the ice, earning a dominant 7–0 win over Elmvale.
They didn’t slow their momentum heading into the third game, coming out fierce against Kawartha. Outstanding backchecking from our forwards and strong offensive plays by our defence led to another impressive 3 – 0 win; clinching a first-place finish and a spot in the finals on day three.
Tension was high as the Storm took the ice for the gold medal game, once again facing the strong Clearview squad. It was a nail-biter, with action back-and-forth through all three periods. But with “the Wall” Julian Mardus in net and the entire team delivering their best performance, the Storm prevailed; bringing home the gold with a thrilling 3–2 win.
The coaches could not be prouder of every single player, their development, and the passion each one brings to the ice every time they step on it.
Look out, playoffs. The Storm is coming.
