Playing career

He spent two seasons with their American Hockey League affiliate the Hershey Bears but never played in the National Hockey League. In 2001, he moved to the Austrian Hockey League with EK Zell am See for one season before returning to North America in the ECHL for the Lexington Men O' War and the Louisiana IceGators as well as brief spells for the AHL's Utah Grizzlies and the Houston Aeros.

Storey returned to Europe in 2004 with spells in the German 2nd Bundesliga with the SERC Wild Wings and the Essen Mosquitoes as well as a second spell in Austria with Graz 99ers and EHC Black Wings Linz. In 2007, Storey signed with British Elite Ice Hockey League team the Newcastle Vipers. In May 2008, Storey rejected a new contract with the Vipers to remain in North America where he seemingly retired from hockey.[1]
