The OCN Storm have officially swept the Cross Lake Islanders and will now move on to face Norway House in the KJHL Finals. The Storm had control for most of the game until the final minutes of the third period. The score was 3-1 entering the frame when Cedrick Puffalt scored early to make it 4-1, but things started to get a little dicey after that. Cross Lake’s Kolby Cooper scored on the power play to make it 4-2, and then with less than a minute remaining, Jayden Blacksmith fired another one in to make it a one-goal deficit. Although it was a great push from the Islanders, the final nail in the coffin came from Keestin Danielson when he potted an empty-netter to make the final 5-3.

The regular season series between the Storm and North Stars is tied at four wins apiece. The first set of games is scheduled for April 3rd and 4th at the GLMC.
