Yesterday was Hockey Day in America, and given that there has been a few articles on this blog about the United States Hockey League, I figure this would be the time to start delving more into the top junior hockey league in America. Today's spotlight (by the magic of the random selector) is on the Tri-City Storm. This Tri-City is not to be confused with the Tri-City Americans of the WHL, who play in Kennewick, WA. The Storm play in Kearney, NE, located in the central part of the state. The Storm were founded in 2000, and prior to their current incarnation, had played as the Bloomington Jr. Stars (1979-84), Minneapolis Stars (1985-86), St. Paul Vulcans (1986-95), and the Twin Cities Vulcans (1995-2000). Among the more notable players to have donned the Storm uniform include Jaden Schwartz and Tim Jackman, the latter doing so while the team played as the Twin Cities Vulcans.
