Beaver Blues, Combines off to perfect starts in SPHL
Things are finally starting to pick up in the Saskatchewan Prairie Hockey League, and although it’s still very early on, the Battleford Beaver Blues and Meota Combines are the only undefeated teams that have played at least two games.
It just so happens that the 4-0 Blues and 2-0 Combines will also go head-to-head on Friday night at the Civic Centre.
“It’s always a good crowd and it’s always good games,” Combines forward Aaron Cadrin said of head-to-head contests between the two Battlefords teams. “Overall it’s good for the community to have two teams. A little bit of competitiveness fuels the rivalry and makes things more exciting.”
Unfortunately, the Combines will have a severely shortened lineup for Friday’s game, as several players are on holidays and a couple others, including captain Brett Miller, are hurt.
