All BMHA players to receive free North Stars season pass
The Battlefords North Stars have always been engrained in the community, but this year they’re taking it to another level.
Not only will some North Stars players help guest-coach at Battlefords Minor Hockey Association practices when they can — like they did last year on occasion — but this season all registered BMHA players will receive a free season pass to attend all North Stars home games.
“I think it’s a win-win for both organizations,” North Stars vice-president Kyle Kellgren said, who is also the vice-president of BMHA. “For Battlefords Minmor Hockey, it’s a win because it gets their kids to the rink. It gets their kids to follow their idols who are the North Stars. And then when you look at it from a North Star advantage, you’re just looking at putting more people in the rink. We’ve got availablity for over 2,000 people, so you take 500 kids from BMHA and if they each brought somebody, we’re looking at 1,000 people alone.”
The pass is available for any BMHA player, from initiation, right up to midget. All players under 10 years of age must bring an adult with them to the game, who must pay for a ticket.
