Toledo, OH - Forward Ben Storm has agreed to terms with the Toledo Walleye for the 2018-19 season.
Storm, the 6'7", 230-pound forward was a member of the Colorado Eagles Kelly Cup Championship team this past season in his first pro season. In 69 regular season games, the Laurium, Michigan native scored eight goals with 19 assists and 140 penalty minutes for the Eagles. He also appeared in seven contests for the San Antonio Rampage of the AHL with no points.
