The players were put to the test with the first regular season game. It was an away game vs Muskoka Bears. The Midget team had a deficit of 6 injuried players, all unable to play this first game. It was a valiant effort, peppered with penalties on both sides, and some short tempers, but the Bears came away with the win of 5-3. The Storm rallied in the third period, scoring all three of their goals, but time ran out before they could even the score or pull ahead for the win. All six injuried players travelled to Bracebridge to support their team mates.
