A win, a loss and an overtime loss is what the Kamloops Storm bring back from this past weekend road trip to the East Kootenay's.
This was the first extensive road trip for the team and although they didn't dominate the competition, they survived. This October road trip has always proved tough on the team as they have to learn to get their road legs, find out more about each others bad habits and most of all, find the guy real leaders on the team.
Obviously, the line of Reyes, Gore and Ludvig have started showing their leadership on the ice. This line contributed a total of 15pts over the weekend and at least one of them was involved in 7 of the 11 goals that the Storm managed to muster up. This is good news for the Storm as this line started the year slow but are now gaining momentum.
Nice to see Josh Caron back in the lineup. He will be a welcome addition to the blueline.
Ryan Hanes requires minor surgery on his ankle that will keep him on the sidelines for about a month.
No word on Brandon Long (we miss his penalty killing). He's out with a banged up shoulder and was still not skating when the boys left for the road trip.
After 2 very commendable appearances between the pipes in Kamloops, Christian Pedersen faced his first adversity as he got pummeled by Golden on Friday night. He was pulled mid-way through the 2nd period and replaced by Anthony Manfredi. It happens. Christian is going to be a good goaltender for the Storm. Hang in there kid.

where has darren mann been?
ReplyDeletei also heard shae naka has been bumped to the alberni a/p roster. any rumors?
hi, thanks for your question.
ReplyDeleteDarren Mann went home for Thanksgiving dinner and fell and injured himself (lower body). Not sure when he will return.
I have heard the rumor about Shea Naka too. We might see him as soon as this weekend but can't confirm at this time. With Caron and Naka back on the defence, it sure makes for a strong blueline.
