North Stars top-5 on latest national rankings
The Battlefords North Stars have cracked the top five of the Canadian Junior Hockey League’s weekly rankings for the first time this season, coming in at fifth.
Their 44-8-1 record puts them on pace to beat their franchise record of 91 points, but it also has them in elite company nationally.
Only one junior A team across the country has more wins than the North Stars – the Brooks Bandits, who have 45 in 53 games played. Brooks remains in the top spot on the rankings.
Two other teams have 44 wins along with the North Stars. That would be the Georgetown Raiders and Steinbach Pistons, ranked second and fourth, respectively.
