Brooks' goal held up as the game winner in a huge win over Omaha...the Storm is presently in the final Western Conference playoff spot - but only by a single point over the Sioux City Musketeers of David Goodwin and Matt Skoff, so they'll need more of that in their final 11 games.

The Vees have now won an incredible 41 games in a row...the team is claiming that it is a new Canadian Jr. A record, while others submit that two more wins will be required ... regardless, Loik was instrumental in win number 40 against Chilliwack...skip to 6:49 and 10:00 into the video below to see his two goals...for a defensive forward, the lack of even one obstruction minor over the last two weeks is noteworthy as well.
