North Stars tangle with Hawks in Nipawin for part two of weekend showdown
Like any classic heavyweight bout, the Battlefords North Stars and Nipawin Hawks will battle it out for a round-two Saturday night.
The two teams faced off for the first time in the season-series Friday night at the Civic Centre. Pegged as the league’s top offense (the Stars) against the top defence (the Hawks), the game delivered in both intensity and dramatics right to the final horn.
The Stars ultimately came back from down two goals to win 3-2 in front of the Battlefords’ crowd at the Civic Centre.
Saturday the Stars will look to repeat the outcome as the scene will shift to Centennial Area, or ‘The Cage’ as it’s known, in Nipawin.
