Storm

Former Storm forward Alicia “Chelle” Thompson is back in Seattle after retiring last fall. She’s going to be honored Saturday by the team as part of its “Fan Appreciation” night at the last regular-season home game of the summer.
Plans are in the works to keep Thompson, 30, around a little longer than the weekend’s festivities.
A member of the 2004 championship squad, Thompson is looking into joining a friend’s gym near Safeco Field as a personal trainer. She expects to start the position by fall.
The Storm has also looked into ways to keep Thompson on staff, possibility working in the community relations department, but with the sale of the organization, it’s unclear if a position can still be created.
“I’ve always loved Seattle,” Thompson said. “I’m excited to be back.”
