GP Storm shifting focus to Centennial Cup after tough fought finals loss against Calgary

The Grande Prairie Storm’s electric season has finally come to an end, with a second place finish after a tough fought loss to the Calgary Canucks in the finals.

The Storm dominated the North Division all season long, maintaining their second place spot behind Whitecourt, later sweeping them in the AJHL North Division Finals.

The finals kicked off with a 9-3 home win in Calgary’s favour- momentum that would carry them through the series.

“While the way the Inter Pipeline cup finals came to an end tonight was not what we were hoping for, the Storm organization is incredibly proud of our players and coaching staff for an impressive playoff run,” the Storm shared on social media.

Still, hockey season is far from over in Grande Prairie as the boys shift their focus away from the AJHL playoffs to the Centennial Cup, where the Storm will have the chance to take their revenge against Calgary on their own home ice.
