Guelph Storm News Release


Coming off a victory against the Sudbury Wovles on Sunday afternoon, the Storm fell to the Rangers in Kitchener on Tuesday night. The seventh straight victim of a streaking Rangers team, discipline and special teams played a major role in Guelph's fate as the Rangers scored four times with the man advantage.

Looking to refocus and rebound from Tuesday's loss, the Storm faces a home and home with the Plymouth Whalers this coming weekend. On Friday night the Whalers will visit the Sleeman Centre for the first time this year. Saturday, the Storm travels to Plymouth for a 7:05 pm gametime.

With a record of 10-7-2-1 the Storm currently sits fourth in the Midwest Division, tied with the London Knights with 23 points. The Whalers are currently in fourth in the West Division with 20 points and a 9-9-1-1 record.

AMJ Player of the Week

The Guelph Storm announced today that defenceman Sam Lofquist is the AMJ Player of the Week for the week ending Sunday, November 14th.

Playing in three games this past week, the Sommerset, Wisconsin native recorded four points. Held off the score sheet on Wednesday night in Erie, Lofquist rebounded with a goal and an assist in the Storm's 4-3 overtime loss to the Attack on Friday night at the Sleeman Centre. Named third star of the game, Lofquist was a +2 on the night. Sunday afternoon against the Sudbury Wolves, the 20 year old was once again on the plus side recording a +3 rating while helping to set up both Taylor Beck and Peter Holland in the first period. The Storm would go on to eventually defeat the Wolves 5-2.

In 14 games so far this season, Lofquist is second on the team in defence scoring with 11 points, three behind leader Tim Campbell, and leads all Storm defenceman in goals with two. The month of November has been good to Lofquist as he has recorded multiple points in every game, but one so far this month racking up eight points in five games to start November.

Next up, the Storm hosts the Plymouth Whalers in the front end of a home and home that sees the Storm travel to Plymouth on Saturday. Friday against the Whalers is Red Friday in support of local Armed Forces members serving overseas. In partnership with Guelph Military Family Support Group and London Military Family Resource Centre, the Storm is asking fans in attendance to wear red to show their support.

Holland earns RBC Academic Award

Guelph Storm forward Peter Holland was presented with the first of three RBC Academic Awards in an on-ice presentation during the 1st intermission of Sunday's 5-2 win over the Sudbury Wolves. The RBC is proud to partner with the Storm to present the award along with a $150.00 cheque three times each season.

RBC is also a proud sponsor of two annual $5,000.00 RBC Scholastic Achievement Awards. If you are a Grade 12 student that plays on a High School or community hockey team, you can win a $5,000 scholarship towards your University or College studies next year.

On Sunday afternoon, the award for the first of three segments was presented to Peter Holland by Shari Dorr from the University of Guelph.

The award is presented to a player who is excelling in his studies at the post-secondary level. The selection of the recipient of this award is based on interim grades from the Fall 2010 semester.

A native of Caledon, Ontario, Holland consistently and independently balances a demanding hockey schedule with academic responsibilities in order to realize a high level of success in both. To date in the fall semester he has achieved a B average in a challenging Introductory Microeconomics course, despite having missed the first two and a half weeks of the semester while attending his second NHL camp with the Anaheim Ducks.
