The Kamloops Storm struck out this weekend as they failed to collect a single point this weekend as they failed to collect a single point during a three game in three nights weekend.
The Storm started the weekend off Friday in Sicamous where they dropped a 5-2 decision to the Eagles. On Saturday the Storm hosted the Eagles and lost 2-1. The loss put the Storm into a tie for second place with the Eagles.
On Sunday it looked like the Storm’s fortunes were going to change with Tyler Jackson scoring twice in the first 6:11 of the game, giving the Storm a 2-0 lead, over the Creston Valley Thunder Cats but it wasn’t meant to be.
The Cats scored once in the first, twice in the second and once in the third to take a 4-2 lead.
Jason Alessio would put the Storm within one but that was as close as they would come.
The Storm head to Penticton on Thursday, to take on the Lakers. Next home game is Nov. 14 when they host the Castlegar Rebels.
On Nov. 20 and Nov. 21, the Storm and the Chase Chiefs team up once against off the ice to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

ReplyDeletethe storm are starting to come together.
its easy to criticise the record when you are used to winning all the time and their stats right now seem close to the other teams.
but with illness gone and players back the story will change.
what they do need is full 60 min of commitment.
sometimes it seems like they cant clear the zone fast enough. maybe skate tighter and more and closer support to the player with the puck.
that said, i noticed that they are forcing more turnovers by being aggressive.
alessio and stuart have picked up their game big time, good to watch.
kolton moen has been awesome since his return, this guy just gives his all, smashing bodies, getting in the way, and pissing off the other team with his play. my pick for player of the month. great shorthanded goal in penticton.
also good job by bevin ollek for standing up for his team mate shulz on that chickenshit hit from behind. good to see him get in there and show that the storm will not be pushed around in their own rink. its our rink and the other teams that come here should be forced to recognise that they will pay the price to come here and play.
see you next game
