The Storm host the Nitehawks in Game 1 Friday night at McArthur Island Sports Centre.

Vernon Viper affiliate Dallas Calvin supplied one goal and two assists as the Nitehawks toppled the host Creston Valley Thunder Cats 6-2 Monday night at Johnny Bucyk Arena. The Hawks won the series 4-1.

Ex-Viper Ryan Edwards also had two helpers for the Nite Hawks, who got other goals from Taylor Stafford, Braden Fuller, Jeremy Lucchini, Riley Brandt and Mitch Foyle.
