For Kamloops Storm to Clinch First Spot in the Division
by Barry Dewar
Any combination of 2 wins by the Storm or 2 losses by the Sicamous Eagles will ensure first place for the Storm. With our destiny in our own hands we head to Princeton this weekend for a game against the Posse.
The Storm will still likely be without Daniel Medland Marchen, Ryan Hanes, Brock Backus and Jamie Galbraith. Galbraith did skate this week and is a possibility but outside chance at best. Hanes and Medland Marchen are both expected to dress for the Kamloops Blazers this weekend, so the Storm will be looking to fill the void with some affiliate player call ups. We expect 15 year old Brett De Frias, 15 year old Josh Rasmussen, 17 year old Alex Marr and maybe 17 year old Spencer Donaldson in the lineup. All players are from the Thompson Blazers Major Midget team which has a bye this weekend.
De Frias will be playing his third game for the club, while Rasmussen will be playing his second game. Alex Marr who is the captain of the major midget team will be playing his 5th game. Donaldson if he suits up will be in his first game as a Storm Player. Donaldson is third on the major midget team for goals and tied for the lead in points with 10 goals and 12 assists. Marr has 2 goals and 10 assists with 50 pims while Rasmussen is 3-3 and 54 pims and De Frias is 5 goals 5 assists with 34 penalty minutes.
Backus has not yet decided if he wants to play since returning to Kamloops from university.
It is expected that a couple of regular players could be seeing action in the BC Hockey League over the next few weeks. Merritt made several trades at the January 10th deadline and have been going with a short bench as they complete their season. Several players have been affiliated to various Junior A teams including Anthony Manfredi, Daniel Medland Marchen, Scott Kirkham, Sean Menton, David Gore, Jose Reyes, Mick Ludvig, Mike McCance and Kyle Graham.
This weekend the Kamloops Storm visit Princeton for the 6th and final meeting until playoffs. Kamloops won the first game in September 3-2 in overtime,. The second meeting was a 9-2 Domino Pizza night with Anthony Manfredi, Mick Ludvig and Peter Soroka as the stars. The third meeting in November was a 6-2 win by the Storm. Ryan Hanes had a hat trick in that game and Josh Caron had a pair of goals. December saw the teams play twice. The first was a 4-1 win for the Storm while the second game was a 5-4 shoot out win for the Posse. Taylor Stuart had 2 goals in the first meeting and 1 in the second meeting against his old team. In the shootout they had 12 shooters each with only John Minot of Princeton and Kyle L'Arrivee beating Kyle Graham who was in the net for the Storm while only Austin Goode scored for the Storm.
The Storm needs to play close attention to Wade Masch and Jason Allessio to earn the victory this weekend. The Storm won both of their games last weekend while Chase lost 4 games last week starting with a loss to the Chase Chiefs in Princeton, followed by a grueling road trip to Fernie, Kimberley and Creston. Next home action for the Storm will be February 7th against Chase for the Juvenile Diabetes fundraiser and on February 8th when Tory Caldwell and the Kimberley Dynamiters come to town.

The Storm Report - Jan 23, 2009
THE STORM REPORT ... by Barry Dewar
Ryan Hanes and possibly Daniel Medland Marchen are with the Blazers for the weekend. We expect Ryan back after the weekend. Daniel at the time of this posting is still unknown if he will be with the Blazers all weekend or will return to the Storm for Saturdays game. It will be Daniels first game in a Blazer uniform. We wish them both the best of luck.
Sean Menton is with the Merritt Centennials for the weekend, he will return next week.
The Storm used 2 of its last cards to sign goaltender Alex Christiansen and forward Bill Garnett. The Storm still have one card remaining.
--------------------------------------------------------
Other Business...
The All-Star Report...
Great All Star weekend for the Storm representatives. Devin Gannon scored both goals for the Eddie Mountain Division prospects team and was named second star. Daniel Medland Marchen also appeared and had a strong game. The team played very well for the Storm coaching staff and some good goaltending by the Neil Murdoch team managed to pull out the victory. The final score was 3-2 for the Neil Murdoch team.
In the All Star game the Neil Murdoch team also won a goal fest game 7-6. The Storm figured in on all but one of the goals scored by the Eddie Mountain team. Jose Reyes, Scott Kirkham, Mike McCance and David Gore all scored while Shae Naka had an assist. Anthony Manfredi played the first period and played well. He allowed 2 goals. The scouts in attendance and there were lots, were all impressed by the work of the boys.
---------------------------------------------------
The Controversy...
Controversy rears its ugly head. With the Storm only days away from clinching first place overall the rumors of a move have been well publicized. We do not want these rumors to disrupt the chemistry of the team and hopefully this will be the final comment for the season. The Storm have no intention of moving and really the team is not for sale. It is still business as usual for the team as we strive to win our division, league and province. We have set big goals for this season and expect to achieve them.

---------------------------------------------------
The Pre-Game... against the Chase Chiefs
The team has been playing short handed for most of the last month, and it has taken a toll on the players however, they are getting geared up for playoffs. The team really is looking for additional depth on defense. The loss of Josh Caron to the Blazers is being felt and we are searching for a replacement. We have talked to a couple of players about filling the spot but not found the right guy yet. While a D-man is what we want, we are also looking at finding the best player available for added depth. One concern with bringing in new guys at this time of year is how it affects the camaraderie in the dressing room, and it is a careful balancing act that has to be done.
The addition of Alex Christiansen and Bill Garnett should provide some additional insurance. Garnett is a role player who is expected to provide some added grit. He had been playing with Richmond Sockeyes up until Jan 10. Richmond is hosting the Cyclone Taylor provincial championship and needed to open a spot for a returning player. Christiansen was the goalie in Sicamous who was released to make room for a Junior A player.
INJURY REPORT-Where are they?
Jamie Galbraith has bruised ribs and will likely sit out this weekend. He is listed as day to day.Ryan Hanes and possibly Daniel Medland Marchen are with the Blazers for the weekend. We expect Ryan back after the weekend. Daniel at the time of this posting is still unknown if he will be with the Blazers all weekend or will return to the Storm for Saturdays game. It will be Daniels first game in a Blazer uniform. We wish them both the best of luck.
Sean Menton is with the Merritt Centennials for the weekend, he will return next week.
The Storm used 2 of its last cards to sign goaltender Alex Christiansen and forward Bill Garnett. The Storm still have one card remaining.
--------------------------------------------------------
Other Business...
The Storm will also be at the Read-a-thon January 24 to help promote literacy. This event will be held at the Henry Grube Center in Kamloops. Come out and show the boys that their efforts are appreciated.
Also some of the players will be participating in a commercial. The Strauss Herb Company will be filming one of their new cutting edge commercials that will revolve around hockey and have asked the Storm to participate. This should be a lot of fun and will happen next week. Strauss who are a strong supporter of local youth athletics are a major company on the North Shore and we hope this is the start of a long relationship. We are not sure when the commercial will air but it should be exciting.
On Feb 2 some of the players will be at OLPH school to do some activities with the children. This will be another opportunity for the players to give back to our community. The Storm will also be involved in Strikes for Tykes and are looking for donations. If you can help this fundraiser for the Boys and Girls club donations are being accepted at the program table. Tax receipts are available for a donations of $20 or more
We are having a charity game for Juvenile Diabetes. Special jerseys to be auctioned off starting at $50. get a jersey and support this great cause. It is another competition with Chase and will be held Feb 6 in Chase and Feb 7 here in Kamloops. Again $1 from all tickets sold will go to the cause. Chase beat us in the Men in Pink lets put them to shame this time
UPCOMING EVENTS
Next home game Saturday January 24th 7pm Revelstoke. February 7 7pm Chase; Feb 8 2pm KimberleyControversy Hangs Over Franchise
Rumoured Possible Sale of Kamloops Storm
Catches Media/Public Attention
Earlier this week the local newspapers released an article about the possible purchase of the Kamloops Storm involving a group headed up by the BCHL's Merritt Centennials coach, Al Glendinning. The rumour is that the Glendinning group would own both the Centennials and the Storm with the intention of swapping locations.
I had actually heard the story the previous week from inside the Storm's management group but had shrugged it off as rumour material that wasn't ready for comment. Well, now it is.
My understanding and further speculation of the situation is this:
The Merritt Centennials have been struggling the last few years, financially and talent-wise. Pathetically small gates and a small town that offers little in the way of attractions for potential star players, the franchise has failed to keep pace with the rest of the BCHL. With an average of 450 fans in a league that consistently attracts 1000 fans as a minimum in most rinks, leaves the Centennials at a disadvantage. It puts great pressure on team financially and on the volunteers who have stood by, working their fingers to the bone to support the franchise. Once a proud franchise, Merritt has neither the financing, population base or the fan support to continue losing tens of thousands of dollars a year. In essence, they really do need to move... somewhere.
But is Kamloops the right place?
Before the Kamloops Storm moved to town I had numerous conversations with other hockey fans in town and we speculated whether a Junior B or Junior A franchise would survive in Kamloops. After being intimately involved with the Storm over the past 3 seasons, I would have to say that Kamloops, at this point in their hockey history, does not have room for a viable Junior 'A' franchise.
Here's my reason's why...
The BCHL has become a prominent league in terms of supplying players not only to US college but also to the NHL. With less than 100,000 people in Kamloops, it would be risky to expect the town to support two high level junior teams. They would be feeding off each other for fan and sponsorship support.
A BCHL team has significantly more expenses than a Junior B team, particularly in the cost of billeting. Junior A players are billeted relatively free of charge to the player where the team pays compensation to the billets through fundraising, gates and sponsorships. In Junior B, the parents of the player are generally charged a monthly fee by the team to supply billets. With a prominent recession smothering the economy right now, it would appear that the cow could threaten to go dry.
The Storm average about the same amount of fans per game as the Merritt Centennials. It would be futile in my opinion to expect a major change in attendence or sponsorship in a town that has limited resources. Kamloops is not going to give up on the Blazers.
The Storm have carved out a wonderful niche in the Kamloops hockey scene. Owner Barry Dewar has 2 ex-Blazers (Ed Patterson and Steve Passmore) to handle the on ice duties (as well as some of the off ice duties). Barry has worked hard to establish a community presence, utilizing both the players and volunteers, that has grown and solidified over the last 3 seasons. I believe that this success would be hard to be improved on enough to support a Junior A franchise as long as the Blazers are in town.
Barry Dewar has said that the team is not for sale however if the right price is offered, any businessman would have to weigh his options. And that's the answer that we would expect. After all the hard work and loyalty that the Kamloops Storm has built over the last 3 years, I would be surprised if a replacement franchise would receive the same reception.
In conclusion, the Merritt Centennials need a new home. With most BCHL towns sporting populations of 30,000 or more, the town of Merritt, with a population of around 12,000, struggles to compete. But Kamloops is not the place.
Merritt however would thrive with a Junior B franchise providing it received the same corporate and fan support that the Jr A team receives now. Their location is conveniently located to operate in the Okanagan-Shuswap division. And let's face it folks, it's a lot easier to sell a strong Junior B team to the fan base rather than a perennial loser at the Junior A level.
However, at this time, Kamloops is not the answer to the woes of the Merritt Centennials.

We are down to the last month in the KIJHL season and only 5 games left in the regular season before the marathon playoff tournament. Kamloops is comfortably in first place with only 5 home games left. Over the last couple of weeks they have picked up a couple of players to try and complete their roster. They are...
Alex Christiansen - goaltender
Bill Garnett - forward
There was a question about Ryan Aynsley. Apparently he is carded with the Merritt Centennials and there is no word on whether he will be re-assigned here.

Kamloops Witnessing Their Own Storm
Indifferent Performances Cost 3 Points
For most teams, a win, a loss and an overtime loss producing 3 of 6 points is acceptable. I don't believe that this applies to the Kamloops Storm.
I wasn't able to see them on Friday night when they won a close game against the Sting in their barn. It was obviously the Justin Palazzo show as he contributed a hat-trick + 1 assist in his first KIJHL game.
However, the indifferent play on Saturday against the Sicamous Eagles and lackluster performance against the Summerland Sting on Sunday, both at home in the Mac Park centre, has one wondering whether they can hold their substantial lead atop the Okanagan-Shuswap Division.
The loss of key players (injury or call ups) is going to play an important part of the psyche of the remaining players and they have to know that each and every one has to step up and fill the gap.
The biggest losses for the team are Josh Caron and Scott Kirkham. Scott played this weekend but he will be lost for at least a month, if not the rest of the regular season to the Merritt Centennials. I would suspect that he will be back for the playoffs as Merritt has little chance to see post-season action.
Josh Caron has been endorsed by the Kamloops Blazers and will remain there for the rest of the season. Josh was our most poised defenseman, particularly defensively, and his presence will be missed.
Ryan Hanes has also been spending time with the Blazers however he was only listed as an Associate Player which restricts him to a maximum of 10 games for the rest of the year. He did not play with the Storm this weekend and the energy void his absence created was noticed. Expect him back soon, possibly this week.
As previously mentioned, Justin Palazzo, a new recruit with significant WHL experience has joined the team on defence. His offensive abilities shone through this weekend as he was in on 9 of the 10 goals that the Storm scored this weekend. His defensive play was definitly suspect however as he coughed up the puck many times in his own end and was on the ice for quite a few goals against. In fairness, he hasn't played in 10 months and he's coming into the season with everyone else in mid-season shape. Let's hope he can pick that part of his game up and be the real asset to the team that the coaches and management expect of him. I'm sure he will.
Goaltending was a bit scary. Both Anthony Manfredi and Kyle Graham played sub-par at the 2 home games. Manfredi got the hook after the second period against Sicamous after 4 goals and Graham promptly let in the first shot he faced. On Sunday, Graham got the start and looked shaky all game, missing with the glove hand, giving up generous rebounds and sitting way too deep in his net where he got burnt early against Summerland.
Both Sicamous and Summerland outworked them.
Sicamous bottled up the middle and the Storm players were not sharp enough to find their way around them. Passes were slow and inaccurate which caused turnover after turnover. The stretch pass was working like a square wheel. There were more 1 on 3's than I have seen all year.
Against Summerland on Sunday, it was much the same until the 3rd period where the Storm took over and scored 3 consecutive goals to take the lead on to turn the puck over late in the game and allow the Sting to tie it up and force a shoot out where the 4 Storm shooters were impotent and Graham struggled, letting in 2 of 4 shots.
It's mid-January and the party is over. Let's get back to some crisp, disciplined hockey get ready for the playoffs. There are only 5 regular season home games left.
So, who played well. Jamie Galbraith (who celebrated his 20th birthday on Sunday) was a workhorse. Shawn Menton was steady as was Tyler Jackson. But it was James Friedel who stood out in my mind as a character player this weekend. He was asked to play both forward and defense and did well in both. James has made great strides in his game in the last month and consistently contributes to the good fortunes of the team.
Good luck to all participants in next week's KIJHL All-Star Game and Prospects Game in Chase.
