Stars head to Melfort to meet Mustangs in replay of last year’s league final
Following a busy schedule that saw the team play four games in five nights on the road last week, the Battlefords North Stars will return to action Wednesday night in Melfort.
Heading back on the road for their eighth and final game away from the Battlefords before playing seven of their next eight at home, the Stars will travel to Northern Lights Palace in Melfort to take on the Mustangs for the first time this season.
A clash of the titans, Wednesday’s game will pit the top-seeded Stars at 10-1 through their opening 11 games, against a Mustangs’ club that has gone 7-2-2 through their first 11.
Adding to the drama further, the night’s action will be the first meeting between the Stars and Mustangs since the teams’ Canalta Cup Finals series last spring. The Stars bested the Mustangs in five games to claim the league championship. That means the home side will likely bring their best this evening, in an effort to enact some retribution after a summer spent wondering what could have been.
