KEARNEY, Neb. – Three former Storm forwards had exceptional months during November and have been key contributors to their teams. For the month of December the Storm recognize Mario Lamoureux, Konrad Reeder and Torin Snydeman as their alumni of the month.
Playing for the Ontario Reign in the ECHL, Lamoureux has been one of the top scoring players on the team. He played well enough early in the season to warrant a call up to the AHL with the Oklahoma City Barons for three games. In 15 games, the Grand Forks, N.D. native has scored seven goals and six assists with a +9 rating.
A season ago, Lamoureux finished his first ECHL season as the top scoring rookie in the league with 25 goals and 40 assists. He was named to the All-ECHL Rookie Team and played in 10 postseason contests.
Lamoureux played four seasons with Tri-City from 2004-08 and is one of the franchise’s all-time leading scorers. He is the leader in games played, assists, points and penalty minutes, while ranking sixth in goals scored.
Reeder, a member of the first ever Tri-City Storm team in 2000 who is now playing for the Rapid City Rush, was recently named the third star of the month by the CHL. The veteran forward scored seven goals and 12 assists with a +10 rating in November.
A Vanderhoof, BC native, Reeder is tied for fourth in the league’s scoring race with 25 points on 11 goals and 14 assists.
Reeder was also an all-time great in Kearney, playing two seasons in the USHL and scoring 60 goals and 48 assists. His goal total has him tied atop the all-time list in Tri-City, and he is fourth all-time with 108 points.
Snydeman played 53 games for Tri-City during the 2008-09 season, scoring eight goals and 10 assists. After his junior career, he played for Sacred Heart University for two seasons before transferring to Northeastern University.
Although he had to sit out a year per NCAA transfer regulations, Snydeman has jumped into the mix at his new school in Boston, cementing himself in the lineup and contributing to the team’s early success.
In the month of November, Snydeman scored four goals, including a game-winner against Merrimack on Nov. 23. Most recently, he scored in a 3-2 come from behind victory over Notre Dame in the championship game of the Shillelagh Tournament.
The junior from Groton, Mass. has been in the lineup for all 15 games this season.
Tri-City heads to the state of Iowa for three games this week. The Storm battle Waterloo on Thursday night, before heading to Des Moines and Cedar Rapids on Friday and Saturday. All three games begin at 7:05 p.m. and can be heard live on The Breeze, 94.5 FM.
