Lance Storm was trained by Ed Langley and Brad Young of the Hart Brothers Wrestling Camp at the Silver Dollar Action Centre inCalgary, where he became friends with fellow studentChris Jericho.[10] Jericho has stated that despite the name of the school, the only involvement any of the Hart brothers had in their training was a "thirty-minute cameo" byKeith Hart to collect the student's fees.[10]

In February 1997, Storm joinedExtreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), making his debut atCrossing the Line Again againstBalls Mahoney. Early in his ECW career, he took part in a match againstRob Van Dam atBarely Legal where he was booed by the crowd for two visibly "weak"chair shots to Van Dam. AtHeat Wave, Storm facedTaz for theECW World Television Championship but failed to win the title.
AtNovember to Remember in November 1997, Storm andChris Candido defeatedTommy Rogers andJerry Lynn.

On the July 22, 1998 episode ofECW Hardcore TV, Storm walked out on Candido during a title match against Sabu and Van Dam, thus ending their team and beginning a feud between the two men. On the September 5, 1998 episode ofHardcore TV, Storm introduced his valetTammy Lynn Bytch, a parody of Candido's girlfriendTammy Lynn Sytch, who appeared in ECW to side with Candido and feuded with Bytch.

The match was refereed by the CanadianJacques Rougeau, who enabled Storm to defeat Awesome and retain his title by constantly changing the rules. Following the match, the semi-retiredCanadian wrestlerBret Hart came to the ring and hugged Storm and Rougeau.[21] AtFall Brawl on September 17, Storm defeatedGeneral Rection withJim Duggan as the referee, with Duggan turning on M.I.A and joining Team Canada. He also attempted to win theWorld Heavyweight Championship, but was defeated by championBooker T on each occasion.

Storm continued teaming with Regal as a regular tag team with the same anti-Americangimmick; Storm would represent Canada and Regal represented England. AtArmageddon on December 15, Storm and Regal competed in a fatal-four-way tag team elimination match for the World Tag Team Championship but failed to win the titles.[51] The next month, the duo won the World Tag Team Championship on two separate occasions.[42] The first was by defeatingBooker T andGoldust on the January 6, 2003 episode ofRaw with help fromChief Morley, who was appointed "Raw Chief of Staff",[52] but they lost the title at theRoyal Rumble on January 19 toThe Dudley Boyz.[53] Storm and Regal began their second reign as World Tag Team Champions the next night onRaw by defeating the Dudley Boyz with help from Morley again.[54] AtNo Way Out on February 23, Storm and Regal defeated Kane and Rob Van Dam to retain the titles.[55] On the March 24 episode ofRaw, Morley announced that since the belts had not been defended in 30 days due to Regal's legitimate health problems, the duo would be stripped of the title. Morley immediately named himself and Lance Storm the new World Tag Team Champions starting Storm's fourth tag team title reign.[42] The following week on the March 31 episode ofRaw, Storm and Morley faced Kane and Rob Van Dam and The Dudley Boyz in a 3-Way Elimination match, dropping the titles to Kane and Van Dam.[56] AtJudgment Day on May 18, Storm competed in a Battle Royal for the vacant WWE Intercontinental Championship which was won by Christian.[57]
From there, Storm was briefly involved in a storyline in whichStone Cold Steve Austin, an authority figure, encouraged the fans to chant "boring" during Storm's matches including one with Storm losing to newcomerGarrison Cade on the June 16 episode ofRaw thanks to Austin bringing out a pillow and blanket and snoring loudly into the microphone, and other distracting antics. Storm eventually found help fromGoldust who helped improve Storm'scharisma, which eventually turned Storm into aface and Storm started dancing. He soon rejoined Morley, who had also become a face and reverted to his Val Venis character. Their reformed team began entering the ring with very attractive women but this time their tag team never got a push. Storm and Goldust then began teaming together for a short period of time. AtArmageddon on December 14, Storm and Val Venis competed in a Tag Team Turmoil match for the World Tag Team Championship which was won by Ric Flair and Batista. From December 2003 to March 2004, Storm mainly competed onSunday Night Heat.
Storm eventually turned heel once again by betraying the fans. This happened when he told them of how he was sick and tired of pleasing them with his dancing and how it was just a waste of his time on an episode ofRaw following the2004 WWE draft lottery, only to be squashed byRhyno immediately thereafter, thus turning Rhyno into a face once again.

Following the match, Storm cut an emotional promo, and later announced his belief that this would be his last match, saying "I shared this match with people who share my love and respect for this business, and I am now home being Lance Evers with the family I will share the rest of my life with. I still have my school, and I will always be a part of this business, but I truly believe I am now done as a performer. They say, never say never in this business, and because of that I won’t, but I think I left it all in the ring that night and I believe I wrote the final page in the 19-year long book that was the career of Lance Storm."[60]
