North Stars head to Estevan to battle Bruins
After a brief off day Thursday, the Battlefords North Stars will return to the ice Friday night to take on the Estevan Bruins at Affinity Place in Estevan.
The Stars enter action Friday not only leading the Global Ag. Risk Solutions Division, but in top spot of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) standings as a whole. The team has posted an 8-1 record through their opening nine games.
The Bruins, meanwhile, at 1-3-2 are a team likely to bring a certain level of desperation. Having won just a single game through their first six contests to begin the new campaign, the team will be hungry to get themselves back in the win column in front of the hometown crowd.
A large reason for the Battlefords’ success has been the depth of offensive contribution the team has received on a nightly basis.
