Jebb Takes Over as Storm's Interim GM

The intricate web of position changes with the OCN Storm continues.

Last week both Gatlin Church and Mike Jebb resigned from their respective positions of GM and team President.

As of this week Mike Jebb has returned to the club in the capacity of the teams General Manager in an interim role as the board seeks a new general manger.

Church is still no longer with the club.

The Storm are 0-9 in their inaugural season and begin 4 games in 4 nights tomorrow in Norway House.

About Last Night... Northstars 7 - Storm 5

The Storm only had three forward lines and four defensemen.

I think had they been able to ice a full roster they would have won. It was a pretty good game.

The Storm were sloppy in the defensive zone to start the game but picked things up 10 minutes into the tenth period and went back and forth with the Northstars.

Some players who stood out from the Storm:

Captain Leon Church's experience as a Junior player really shows.

Dustin Dorion is a great skater with some pretty good hands and impressed me.

Kevin Scott played a solid game defensively.

Jon Asmus is a standout in goal.

There are certainly some pieces to build off of and some coaching will get the Storm to their first win. Apparently the Storm only have 17 players registered with the league and that's why they could only dress 13 players.

I'm sure all that will be rectified before the next game.

Storm Lineup + Church - Jebb resign

A home game for the OCN Storm is marred by the resignation of team General Manager Gatlin Church and the teams president Mike Jebb.

I'm told both have quit for personal reasons, this follows the departure of assistant coach Dwayne Whitehead  who left earlier this week.

The Storm are host to the Norway House Northstars tonight at 8PM at the GLMC.

Here is the Storm's lineup for this evening.

G - Jon Asmus Personius 31
G - Branden Constant 1

F - Leon Church 91
F - Romario Constant 12
F - Dustin Dorion 44
F - Kenton Fayant 6
F - Ayrton Kadachuk 16
F - Harold Linklater 82
D - Bryson Constant 9
D - Peter Norman 77
F - Allan Personius 7
D - Kevin Scott 2
F - Brandon Turner 14
F - Glenn Young 4
F - Jory Hadiken 93

The Storm are (0-6) coming into tonight's matchup while the Northstars are (0-4) so someone is getting their first win tonight.

I look forward to watching the Storm play for the first time this season, hopefully it isn't the only time!

Enjoy the game if you're coming down to the rink.

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.


(Age and experience)

Bryson Constant 94
OCN Midget Blues AA

Kevin Scott 93

Norway House Northstars (KJHL)
Norman AAA Northstars

Dustin Dorion 93

OCN Midget AA

Leon Church 92

Team Manitoba NAHC
Swan Valley Stampeders(MJHL)
Parkland AAA

Peter Norman 92

Team Manitoba NAHC
Ochap Thunder (PJHL)

Zek Awoyemi 94

The Storm host the Norway House Northstars tomorrow at the GLMC. Puck drop is at 8PM.
