The Storm, who are riding a three-game winning streak will host the Okotoks Oilers to kick off a pair of games this weekend.

Grande Prairie is coming off a 6-5 overtime victory on the road Tuesday in Drayton Valley to give them a little cushion between themselves and the Sherwood Park Crusaders for 4th in the AJHL North standings.

Tonight’s opponents are riding high as well as the Oilers have won 6 in a row, and have only lost 6 games in regulation all season.

Okotoks is also recognized as one of the top-ranked teams in the country based on the CJHL Top 20 weekly rankings.

Grande Prairie will also host Olds on Saturday.
