City preparing for arena conflicts to accommodate Stars’ playoffs
City administration isn’t concerned about double booking the Civic Centre if the North Stars go on a deep playoff run.
At the city planning committee Monday night, the pride of the Battlefords was brought up as the SJHL’s North Stars have officially wrapped up the first seed in the league.
Council asked Bill Samborski, directer of leisure services, what might happen if the Stars make a deep playoff run considering events like the rodeo are being held in the Civic Centre in late March and early April.
“Every year I get a little worried,” Samborski said. “After looking over the last two SJHL playoffs, if the Stars went to a game seven in the league finals we should be able to accommodate that game. We would have to start putting dirt down that Tuesday though [for the rodeo].”
