Multiple North Stars nominated for league awards
The Battlefords North Stars season has seen them sit at, or near the top of the league standings for essentially the entire season.
It has resulted in a few of their players being recognized for their efforts throughout the grind of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League Season.
Igor Leonenko, in his third and final year with the North Stars, has been nominated as the Finning Division’s representative for league MVP.
The 21-year-old Russian has avoided injury this season, something he couldn’t do his first two years in North Battleford, and it has resulted in astounding offensive production. Leonenko is second in league scoring as of March 1 with 44 goals and 41 assists. His 85 points are nearly four times higher than his previous career high.
