The Highland Storm Pepper Mill Steak and Pasta House Dollo’s Foodland Bantam A team travelled to Millbrook Friday evening for a weekend tournament. Their first game was against tournament host Millbrook Stars. The Stars got on the scoreboard with a pass that caught goalie Nate Miscio off guard. Miscio made a highlight save early in the second when the puck rolled up over his shoulder and he had to reach back to keep the Stars from jumping ahead by two. After continued pressure Jake Sisson found the back of the net to make it 1-1. Brendan Coumbs made it 2-1 Storm in the second period rushing down the right side boards and scoring on a high wristshot. Both teams played exciting hockey in the third but neither would score giving the Highland Storm a 2-1 win in the opening game of the tournament.
Game 2 of the Millbrook tourney saw our boys take on the Stars from Wasaga Beach. Jaxon Gill opened the scoring for the Storm but Wasaga Beach came right back to tie the game at one and get their second goal off the next face-off to take the lead. Tim Turner got the Storm even with a goal crease scramble and Brendan Coumbs kept the score at 2-2 making a nice defensive play. Zach Davis got a power play goal pouncing on a rebound from a Coumbs shot on goal. Ben Landry played great as the Storm starting goalie. Wasaga Beach evened the score at three but Brendan Coumbs put the Storm back on top 4-3 just before the end of the second period.
Jake Sisson and Hunter Arnott would both score in the third period defeating the Wasaga Beach Stars 6-5.
The final game of the round robin was against the South Grenville Rangers. Scoreless going into the second period Desi Davies stepped around a Ranger defender and scored. Aaron Bellefleur showed some strong defensive skills to keep the Storm in front as did Ty Mills. The Rangers finally found a way to get a puck past Nate Miscio but the Storm responded quickly in the third frame with Hunter Arnott scoring to put the Storm back on top 2-1. The Rangers battled back to tie the game on the power play. The game ended in a 2-2 tie allowing the Highland Storm to go through the round robin with an impressive two wins and a tie.
The Highland Storm faced off against the South Grenville Rangers in the semi-finals.
Although the Hunter Arnott would put the Storm on the scoreboard within the first minute the Rangers would tie the game on the power play and take the lead 2-1 shortly after. The Rangers took 3-1 lead a few shifts after that. Tim Turner scored in the second period to pull the Storm within two. The Rangers popped in a couple of empty net goals for a 6-2 victory.
This writer is hoping the boys travel home with heads held high with a solid 2-1-1 record in the tournament and a remarkable improvement in their play over the past 10 days. The team next travels to Beaverton Thursday evening for an exhibition game.
