Fireworks likely as North Stars and Bombers collide
Riding the wave of four-straight victories to kick off the new season, the Battlefords North Stars will put their perfect 4-0 record on the line against the Flin Flon Bombers.
An early afternoon start with puck drop at 1 p.m., Tuesday’s game will mark the second and final contest of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) Showcase in Warman for both the Battlefords and Flin Flon.
The matchup will serve as the first meeting between the two sides since the Stars narrowly edged out the Bombers in the first-round of the playoffs last Spring. The North Stars took the series in thrilling seven-game fashion. It was a roller coaster ride featuring four overtime games, including one triple-overtime affair.
Flin Flon will be hungry to show the shoe is on the other foot come this season.
