Storm Make a Big Trade

The following release is directly from OCN Storm GM Gatlin Church....

"The OCN Storm and rookie GM Gatlin Church have made their biggest trade in franchise history.

The Storm have traded away the playing rights of 18 year old Jameson Scott for three player in return. Scott has scored 8 goals 3 assists and 38 pims in 5 combined games for the Storm. Scott also played AAA midget last season with the Norman Northstars and was a standout at this past year's NAHC in Saskatoon for team Manitoba.


Going the other way are 21 year olds Scott Apetagon and Jordan Richards who where both a part of the long play-off drive by the Northstars last season. Also included in the deal was 6'2" Defenseman Zek Awoyemi. Awoyemi will fill the void on the backend for Storm and provide them with some much more needed experience on the blueline.


The Storm has allowed the most goals against in the KJHL so far this season, with 51. Now the team has added to there very thin blueline it looks like this.

  6. Why wouldn't you want to carry the roster max until deadline? Gives guys a chance to increase their skills at this level in case of an injury down the line. As for the roster, yes I will once I get to the rink.
