Storm for the 2012 season. Both senior players were captains last season and both bring leadership, guidance, knowledge and experience to the team. Stephen Martines came to the Storm last year at pne of their first tryouts of the year where he quickly drew the attention of the staff with his knowledge of the game and leadership skills. Martines, besides an accomplished soccer player, is also a television actor, recording, artist and owns his own filming company - D.T.E. Films - which will be proudly worn on the back of the players jersey's this season.
