North Stars and new coach gearing up for camp
It’s hockey season again in the Battlefords with faces new and old descending on the Civic Centre for the North Star camp.
The 2016-17 North Stars season begins on Sunday, Aug. 28 with check-ins and fitness testing followed by on-ice sessions and scrimmages until Friday, Sept. 2.
New coach Nate Bedford is entering his first camp with the North Stars after being hired on Aug. 16 and is looking forward to getting out on the ice with the team.
“Anybody that’s a hockey person, this is the exciting time of the year. You’ve got a clean slate, you haven’t lost a game yet and whenever you haven’t lost a game yet, it’s very exciting. We’re gearing up for what I think is going to be a strong year,” Bedford said.
