North Stars expect to score by committee in 2016-17
Last year’s Battlefords North Stars won three quarters of their games over the course of a 58-game season, something many fans would consider superb.
They had three of the league’s top-10 scorers on their team, Igor Leonenko, Layne Young, and Coby Downs, another exceptional feat.
Yet they fell to the Flin Flon Bombers in five games in round two of the playoffs.
Of course, most fans already know this, and may still be a little bit sour from last year’s playoff loss.
