Make that three in a row for the KJHL’s top team, the OCN Storm. The back-to-back champs picked up their second weekend sweep against NCN, improving their record to 7-1-2 on the season.
Saturday’s contest saw the Storm in control for much of the game, although NCN was never completely out of the fight. Heading into the final frame, OCN held a 4-1 advantage. The Flames made a strong push for a comeback but ultimately came up short, as the Storm held on for a 4-3 victory.
Sunday’s game was much more dominant for OCN. By the end of the first period, the Storm had built a 5-0 lead. NCN managed to find the back of the net three times over the remainder of the game, but OCN added two more goals of its own to secure an 8-3 win and complete the weekend sweep.
Elsewhere in the league, Norway House also picked up a weekend sweep in its series against Peguis.
With the pair of victories, OCN now sits alone in first place with 16 points, while Norway House is right behind them with 13.
