2014-2015 recap:
Ben Storm did not have the greatest sophomore year in the NCAA. A stay-at-home defenceman, he spent most of the time on one of the bottom pairs or as the #7-defenceman. Storm will have to improve in all areas of the game. His skating and mobility are sub-par.

2015-2016 outlook:
Storm will have to stay in college hockey for as long as he is eligible, before competing for a contract with the Avalanche.
