North Stars present cheque to AAA Stars for Hall of Fame assistance

This past summer, the Battlefords North Stars hosted the Saskatchewan Hockey Hall of Fame induction ceremony at the Civic Centre.

It was a huge event and lucky for them, many in the community helped out, including their neighbours; the midget AAA Stars.

On Tuesday night, ahead of the AAA Stars home opener against the Saskatoon Contacts, the Battlefords North Stars presented the midget club with a $1,000 cheque for helping at the induction ceremony this past July.

“When we looked at the induction ceremony, we looked into the community to see if there would be anybody [to help], it was a fairly big job to say the least, and we looked at trying to bring some supporters in to give us not only a hand, but to share in some of the profits that came out of the evening,” North Stars new president Shandon Reichert said. “It was a pretty natural fit to look at the AAA Stars.”
