The Storm battled hard in game 3 of their quarter final series with the New Hamburg Huskies and skated to a 4-2 home ice decision Tuesday evening at the Moore Sports Complex. Trailing the series two games to none the Storm faced a must win game and stepped up to take it. To make matters worse Mooretown were playing without the services of Elijah Contreras who had the good fortune of attending the Olympics.
 

Jared Pageau opened the scoring on a hard wrist shot from the top of the circles at 6:54 of the first. The Storm led 1-0 after a period of play.
 

Jared Pageau upped Mooretown's lead to 2-0 at 12:43 of period two on a nice rush and deke of the goalie. Bailey Smalls gave the Storm a 3-0 lead at 9:31 of the second stanza when he stepped in and intercepted a pass and beat the "D"man and then beat the goalie for a beautiful goal. Mooretown led 3-0 heading into the third frame.
 

New Hamburg got on the board at the 6:39 mark of the third and then made it 3-2 at 3:40 of period three. Mooretown took a time out to catch their breath and relax. Jared Pageau completed the hat trick scoring a PP goal at 1:12 to put the game away and give Mooretown the 4-2 victory. Assisting on the goal was Nolan Gladwish and Justin Murphy. The first three goals were unassisted. Emma McCormick took the win in net.
 

The Storm had to really battle as New Hamburg never quits and keeps coming at you for three periods.
