It was a great weekend of hockey for the Stettler Storm novice black team, which won the B final in the annual Big Valley tournament.

The Storm came back from a tough Game 1 defeat to win the B championship.

On Friday night, Stettler played the hosts from Big Valley and came out flying. The Storm took a 3-1 lead in the first period, but the lead didn’t hold up and the Storm fell 9-4.

That loss moved Stettler into the B event and set them up for a game against Spruce Grove Ninjas on Saturday. The Storm scored early and often in the lopsided game and came away with an 18-0 win.

In that game, Jessica Turnbull scored her first goal of the year and had several other good chances. It also marked the first shutout victory for Brandon Enyedy, who manned the net for all three games.

The final game on Sunday had Stettler going up against the Leduc Roughnecks. After hearing that their friends on the Stettler Storm white team had won the C final, it might have given the black team a little extra motivation.

Stettler got an early goal from Isaac Deaver and another from Waylon Blumhagen, which helped get the Storm going and propelled them to a 10-2 victory.

It was a fun weekend for the Storm and gives them a lift as they head into the final games of the season.
