The end of AJHL regular season action is coming up quick, and with less than 15 games left, the Grande Prairie Storm will certainly be looking to maintain their near season-long second-place spot in the North Division.
Last week, the Storm made a statement on the road against the Devon Xtreme, finishing their February 7th game with 14 goals, dominating the Xtreme with a final score of 14-2 when it was all said and done.
Storm forward Alec Hall posted a hat-trick and managed to pick up three assists, earning him the Visiting Team Star of the Game.
The following evening, the Xtreme ran away with it after the first two periods, leading 4-1 going into the third. Not to be outdone, the Storm turned on the jets in the third, scoring four and bringing the game to overtime. Despite their best efforts, the Storm ended up losing it in a shootout, bringing the final tally to 6-5 in Devon’s favour.
Grande Prairie forward Carter Streek earned himself the Visiting Team Star of the Game after scoring twice and picking up an assist.
The Storm are set to return to Bonnetts Energy Centre on February 14th against the number-one-ranked Whitecourt Wolverines, marking the second last two-game series of the season between the two AJHL North Division titans.
