Storm started the 1st period well with some intense Ice Hockey testing Sheffield Goalkeeper Tomas Duba several times.
Sheffield weathered Storms early onslaught and took the lead with a great strike from Aron Brocklehurst who beat Ginn to give the Steelers the lead.
In the 2nd period the game sprung into life. After some good work from the Storms attacking unit Mario Pursrich levelled the scores with a sweet effort which few past Duba in the Sheffield goal.
In this period Storm were on top and after a few minutes of pressure Adam Hughesman finished off a smart move to put Storm 2-1 ahead.
In this ding dong Derby contest Sheffield showed why they are a top team as they surged back into the match testing the Storms defence lead superbly Dallas Ehrhart.
Unfortunately for Storm The Steeler constructed a fabulous counter attack which resulted in Brendan Connolly equalising for the Steelers sending their travelling army into raptures 2-2.
Sheffield’s goal scorer Brocklehurst spent some time in the sin bin which turned the game Storms way.
Cheered on by a insane amount of noise from the Storm faithful Lane Ulmer put the hosts ahead with a fantastic strike and with Adam Hughesman who was full of confidence smashing in number 4 it all looked good for Storm.
The Steelers rallied late in the 3 period as Antony De-Luca scored but Storm hung on to record a fantastic win down at the Storm Shelter.
