February 27, 2013 - National Basketball League of Canada (NBL Canada)
Summerside Storm News Release
(Summerside, PE) The Summerside STORM play their final two regular season road games this week in Ontario as tonight they play a crucial game against the Oshawa Power while on Saturday night they return to London to take on the NBL's number one team, the Lightning.
The STORM go into the Oshawa game tonight with a record of 19-14, good for first place in the Atlantic Division of the NBL and second overall. But the Power are right on their heels with a record of 18-14 and can move into second place overall with a win. Oshawa has beaten the STORM twice in two meetings this year, once at home and once at Credit Union Place.
On Saturday night the STORM visit the London Lightning with the two teams having split two games so far this season. The STORM beat the NBL's top team by 19 points in January while losing a close one in overtime last week in what many observers feel was the best game in the league so far this season. Both road games this week can be seen live online by visiting the STORM website and following the webcasting links.
After this week the STORM return home for Prince Edward Island's version of March Madness, five straight home games to end the regular season. The STORM face the Saint John Mill Rats this coming Tuesday night at Credit Union Place in a game rescheduled from Islander Day due to poor weather conditions. The STORM then host Oshawa on March 8th, Halifax on March 10th, London on March 14th, and end the regular season again on March 16th. All games are shaping up to be very important for the STORM as Saint John and Halifax both have 17 wins and are still in the hunt for the division title with seven and six games remaining respectively. The Moncton Miracles are still in the mix with 19 wins against 20 losses but have just one more game to play in the regular season.
