Storm sweep weekend home games

Oct 13, 2024 | 5:58 PM

The Grande Prairie Storm beat the visiting Calgary Canucks in two games this weekend, sweeping the same team that eliminated them from last year’s AJHL playoffs.

Grande Prairie doubled the Canucks 6-3 Sunday afternoon at the Bonnetts Energy Centre.

The Storm took a 3-0 lead after the first period. Brandon de Haas had two of those goals, while Will Harris scored the other.

Zachary Wilson scored what proved to be the game winner just over two minutes into the second period to give the Storm a 4-0 lead.

Calgary answered with two goals before Harris scored his second goal of the game to give the Storm a 5-2 lead after two periods.
