This was second game today, and the third of the Fall
Colours hockey tournament. The team headed back to the Arctic Edge of Canton,
this time for a game against the St. Jude Knights from Illinois. Drew played his
shifts on right wing throughout this game. The Storm was able to quickly score a
goal, giving them the lead. The Knights were able to match that goal with one of
their own, and managed to add on another, which ended the first period with a
2-1 score. The Storm came on to the ice in the second ready to play (the
constant mini sticks looked to have improved their game); they wanted to win!
Part way into the second period the Storm scored another goal, tying up the
game. We all thought we had it, but moments later the Knights scored another
goal. There was a kid Drew didn’t seem to care for and he kept leaning on Drew.
You could tell he was ready to take the kid out but figured the best way to hurt
him was to score a goal on a rebound, Drew's first of the tournament.
Unfortunately the Knights scored three unanswered goals, including an empty
netter, to close out what was otherwise a closely fought contest. This left the
team feeling disappointed, but they were also proud of the relative success the
team was having. With each play, they looked more in sync and working together.
The Storm finished this game with a 6-3 loss, but the improvement in their play
was becoming more and more evident. The loss put the two teams in the
consolation game tomorrow morning for a rematch, this time at Yost Ice Arena,
home of the Michigan Wolverines.
We're not sure what happened, but our pictures from this
game all were done in black and white... enjoy them anyway!
