Storm Earn A Gold Medal Birth With OT Win Over Aldergrove

The first 20 minutes was a stale mate as both teams knew what was at stake, neither wanted to make an error in front of the 400 plus in attendance.

It was minutes after the midway point in the second period that Kodiaks Quinncy Leroux would open the scoring with a 5-on-3 power play goal.

The Storm pressed during the third period, firing an astounding 20 shots on Kodiaks Dawson Rodin. It was finally with just over four minutes left in the game, that the Storm had a break through as Pearce Messer would score off of a lengthy rebound.

As a result, this game was headed to sudden death, 4-on-4 overtime, to get a ticket to the gold medal game.

It was on a scramble play that Storms Mitchell Williams would find a loose puck and tuck it in with 53 seconds left in the first overtime period.

Williams would be named the Storms star of the game, while Clayton Shroeder got the nod as the Kodiaks star of the game.

Kodiaks Rodin made 44 saves in the loss, while Storms Chris Smith turned aside 24 of 25 shots.
