STORM LOOK FOR STRANGLE HOLD ON SAINTS

The Grande Prairie Storm can take the next step toward a very big upset tonight.

The Storm lead the Best-of-Seven Enerflex Cup Championship Series 2 games to none and will look to take a 3 game lead in Grande Prairie.

G-P beat the Saints in both games played in Spruce Grove earlier this week thanks in large part to former Grizzly Goalie Chad Carder.

Carder has allowed only 1 goal in the two games of the Championship tilt thus far, earning a .983 Save Percentage.

FLYERS EARN A MEASURE OF REVENGE

Six different Flyers scored goals en route to a 6-3 win over the Bentley Generals last night.

Over 1800 fans took in Game 2 of the Alberta/B.C. 'AAA' Mens Final at the Red Deer Arena.
