As the series currently stands with Penguins in the lead 2 games to 1, you can be damn sure that the Storm team are planning their attack and Game4, this coming Monday, is going to be NO walk in the park for the Penguins.
However Team Storm ended up taking this game 6-5 and with the Penguins losing Marc Giot and Chris Reeves due to equipment malfunction and injury.
There has been a massive response from the local players as this league has instantly "upped" the level of the game and created such a rivalry between the 2 teams and the players, "actually something to play for now" as mentioned by many of the players.
With a guaranteed R15 000 cash prize for the winning team plus a portion of the door takings for the season, both teams are going to be working really hard to ensure that they get to "drink" from the winning cup come the end of year function and prize giving and to top it off a handy cash incentive for those lucky 15 who take the series.
This photo from Game2 show the Penguins team coming back after a play up the ice and finishing on the Storm goaltender. A team effort and the smiles on the faces with a much deserved scoreline for them but sadly not for the Storm players who went down 12 - 4 as they clearly missed their absent players.
The next game will be taking place this coming Monday, 18th July at 7:30pm. Tickets are available at computicket via this link http://www.computicket.com/web/event/wp_ice_hockey_premier_league/413500719/referer:highlights-index-5-2-0-grid
