North Stars leadership team chosen for 2017-18
Unlike last year, the Battlefords North Stars had to choose a completely new set of players to wear both the captain and three assistant captain letters this season.
The new coaching staff of Brandon Heck and Boyd Wakelin said there were too many leaders to choose from, but in the end, they named Layne Young, perhaps not surprisingly, the captain, while Tory Gerein, Levi Kleiboer, and Cody Spagrud will each wear an ‘A’.
All four players are entering their third full Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League Season.
“[Young] is a natural leader,” Heck said on Wednesday after practice. “He works hard on the ice so he can be vocal because he does it all right.”
