We're excited to open the season and go for our fifth straight championship."

While the Storm open the 2009 season in Bloomington against the Extreme, Rookies Bar and Grill, located on Louise Avenue will start the season off right with showing the live web stream broadcast through the B2 Network on their big screens at the bar.
