Storm Warning: Campbell River ends Buccaneers win streak at 13 games
NANAIMO — A 13-game Buccaneers (14-2) winning streak came to a crashing halt as the Campbell River Storm (13-4-1) invaded the Pirate Ship and beat Nanaimo 8-4 Thursday night.
The surging Storm scored five third period goals to put an exclamation point on a thorough and determined effort in front of 280 fans at the Nanaimo Ice Centre.
Bucs head coach Curtis Toneff said their focus and execution were off, as Campbell River set the tone early.
“When you’re a team that’s won as many games in a row as we did it’s going to be circled on their calendars, we had to know that coming in, we can’t just show up and take two points every night.”
