The Saugeen Shores Sutton Huron Shores Realty Storm Novice
team continued its run of great play last week with a win and a tie. The Storm has pushed their unbeaten streak to
5 games, and improved their record to 4-1-1 in the process.
On
Thursday November 14th the Storm had revenge on their minds as they
played the Saugeen Shores #2 team who have handed them their only defeat of the
season. The team’s focus this game was on team defense
and the players worked hard to achieve this goal. Led by goaltender Ella Marshall and the
strong defense of Cameron Cumming, the Storm were 5 minutes away from posting a
shut-out before a few late goals found their way into the net.
However in the end the Sutton Realty Storm came away with an 8-2
victory.
The attack was led by Malachi McKinnon who scored four goals
for the Storm. Chad Lawerence added two goals of his own, while Jason Legge and
Joseph Hodgkins each chipped in a goal apiece.
The Palinsky brothers, Hunter and Brodie, demonstrated excellent passing
skills and combined for three assists between them.
On
Saturday November 16th the Storm travelled to Shallow Lake for the
second straight weekend, this time to play the Lakers #1 team who entered the
game undefeated. The game proved to be an
exciting one for the fans as the teams traded chances back and forth throughout
the game.
It
was the Storm who struck first early in the first period. Chad Lawerence took a Brodie Palinsky pass behind
the net and tried a wrap-around which was stopped by the Shallow Lake
goaltender. After the save the puck lay
in the crease and Hunter Palinsky swooped in and put it home to give the Storm
a 1-0 lead.
Despite
many great scoring chances throughout the game, no other goals were scored until
late in the third period, when Shallow Lake evened the score on a rebound goal. Ella Marshall played excellent in goal for
the Storm turning aside numerous scoring chances from the Lakers. When the buzzer sounded the game ended in a
1-1 tie.
In
addition to Ella’s great goaltending, the Storm were able to hold the Lakers to
just one goal due to the strong efforts of defensemen Logan Bursey and Charlie
Marshall, and the constant back-checking of forward Sean Moorehead.
This weekend the Saugeen Shores Sutton Huron Shores Realty Storm travel to
Wiarton to play the Bruce Peninsula North Stars on Saturday November 23rd at 2pm.
