However, in the playoffs that season after Seattle’s starting goaltender Rylan Toth went down with a season-ending injury, Stankowski backstopped the Thunderbirds to a 16-4 playoff record and the 2017 WHL championship.

That Seattle team also featured the likes of Grande Prairie native Reece Harsch and current NHL players Matt Barzal and Ethan Bear.

Meanwhile, Lane leaves the Storm after two seasons, where he appeared in 74 games for the team.

In a statement, the Storm thanked Lane for his contributions to the team.
