North Stars welcome Hawks to town in return to Civic Centre
With a 13-1 record through their opening 14 games, the Battlefords North Stars are the toast of the SJHL heading into the weekend.
Looking to keep their hot streak in tact, the team will have their work cut out for them, missing a key piece of the offense heading into a matchup with another heavyweight team, in the 9-3 Nipawin Hawks.
The North Stars will be without Elijah Loon-Stewardson on the top line Friday.
The forward was given a one-game suspension for being involved in a second fight during the same stoppage in play, during a melee that ensued in the first period of Wednesday night’s game against La Ronge.
