Result 1st Match
MK Storm vs Peterborough
With so many of the older players supporting the U12’s it was always going to be a tough few games but MK Storm started bright and sharp.
It took some nice play from a Peterborough forwards to break down the lines and score from distance.
McEwan responded brilliantly and lead the fight with a fantastic, worked goal. Some great play and possession by Jamieson and Michalak kept MK Storm in the game.
Poulton managed to get another goal back for MK Storm which was a rapid drive through the Peterborough defence, but a late surge saw Peterborough clinch the victory.
Star of this match: Jamieson
Result 2nd Match
MK Storm vs Solihull
This was a good defensive effort from MK Storm who struggled against some strong lines for Solihull who had depth throughout.
The team got caught out by some neat play on the changeover on line 3. This saw Solihull beak away and score. Solihull utilised this a number of times to good effect.
MK Storm responded with every line giving it their all and fighting to stay in the game. A fantastic effort from Tonks all afternoon saw him leaving the ice like he had been running a marathon putting every last bit of effort in to support his team. McEwan, Nüth and Iacono were coming off the ice the same which shows the amount of effort they put in to keep MK Storm in the game.
Late on great work clearing the line from M Calvert kept the puck up the Solihull end and clever skilful skating of Truong made sure MK Storm kept possession and kept creating chances.
An amazing effort from MK Storm.

Result 3rd Match
MK Storm vs Coventry
Close well battled games across the lines that was a hard-fought affair. Coventry had depth across all lines and MK Storm found it a challenge to match this.
Nettey who's pace across the ice and physicality on line 2 caused Coventry problems and formed nice link up play with Truong . Dudley and M Calvert formed a nice pairing.
Nüth gave it his all and showed great passing and link up play with his line 1 team mates and held Coventry for vast period of the game. Iacono, with some quick stick handling and play throughout, allowed relief for the MK Storm team.
Star of this match: Iacono
A collaborative performance across the games that could have seen a few obtain player of the tournament. Coaching staff selected the following:
Player of the Game
Jamieson for great improvement. He has worked on his game and was a consistent performer across the games today.
Spirit of the Game
Nüth for working hard on his game as he was playing on line 1 due to the shortage of players but coped well. Calmly followed instructions and put in 100%.
The whole team gave a good glimpse of what these young players can do and a positive future, playing top ice hockey. Let's go MK Storm!!
