Guelph Storm News Release


Plymouth Whalers (2) vs. Guelph Storm (4) (Guelph won season series 3-1-0)

On paper, this series looks like an easy win for the Guelph Storm. They finished with more regular season points than the Whalers, took three of four in the regular season and picked off the Saginaw Spirit in four games in the first round while the Whalers battled through a seven-gamer with the Windsor Spitfires. But, the Whalers are a gritty bunch that won a season-ending battle with Saginaw to claim the West Division title and lock up the second seed spot in the conference. They hope to use that home ice advantage in this series. James Neal and John Vigilante lead the team offensively while Andrew Fournier continues his breakout season with three powerplay markers in the first round. For Guelph, goaltender Ryan MacDonald was rock solid in the first round, stopping nearly 95% of the shots he faced. All-Star defenceman Ryan Parent is one of the best in the business - especially at this time of year. His steady demeanor sets the tone for the entire defence corps. Up front, Ryan Callahan is still the top shooter while sophomore Matt D'Agostini and veteran Kelsey Wilson also provide depth up front.
