Brigham City, UT (April 28. 2008) Storm Products Inc., the Brigham City, Utah based manufacturer of high performance bowling balls is proud to welcome Rhino Page to its Staff of Champions.

Page, of Topeka, Kansas, had the greatest rookie season in the history of the Professional Bowlers Tour in 2007-08, which included a title at the Go RVing Classic in March. The 24-year old left-hander racked up five championship round appearances as a non exempt player finishing second twice, third and fifth.

Page's win at the Go RVing Classic earned him $25,000 and helped him to a rookie earnings record of $84,811. With the win, Page joined Sean Rash and Mike Mineman as the only three bowlers in history to claim titles after advancing through the weekly Tour Qualifying Round.

Page graduated from the University of Kansas and is a five-time member of Team USA. He was a member of 2004 Intercollegiate Bowling Championships men's national team and the 2005 U.S. Amateur champion. He is the only bowler in history to win a (July) High Roller title (amateur) and PBA national title.

“Storm has great products and I have a great relationship with Steve Kloempken (Storm Marketing Director) and Chris Schlemer (Storm Tour Representative),” said Page. “I am very happy with Storm’s equipment. Storm had enough confidence in me to make me an offer and I expect great things for next year. The Gravity Shift is just one example of the great equipment Storm offers.”

“I watched (Storm staffers) Pete Weber and Norm Duke as a kid and I am thrilled to be on the same staff as them.”

“We’re excited about Rhino,” said Storm President Dave Symes. “He exudes the passion and desire for success on the lanes that we have throughout our company."

Page recently lit up the lanes at the 2008 USBC National Tournament in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He is a member of the team leading that division.

“Breaking multiple records on the PBA Tour his rookie season, Rhino Page is quickly establishing himself as one of the best young players in our sport,” said Kloempken. “He is feisty, tenacious, and a real force to be reckoned. And with a wealth of experience as a member of Team USA, Rhino is only going to get better! We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Rhino to the Storm Staff of Champions.”
