YEAR IN REVIEW... 1995-96 marked another outstanding season for the club as they celebrated their fifth year in the league. Under new head coach E.J. McGuire, the Storm was once again a force to be reckoned with, capturing their second straight OHL regular season championship with a record of 45-16-5 and setting an OHL record with only 186 goals against. The team was successful once again in advancing to the OHL Finals where they lost in the seventh game of an exciting series against the Peterborough Petes. The team also earned a berth in their first Memorial Cup, where they were put out of the tournament with an 0-3 record.
