North Stars kick things off with a bang, open season vs. rival Klippers
Just under 150 days since they first hoisted the Canalta Cup as 2019 league champions, the Battlefords North Stars return to the ice tonight for game one of the new season.
Kicking off the fresh campaign in style, the team will travel to Kindersley to take on the division-rival Kindersley Klippers at West Central Events Centre.
This will mark the eighth straight year the Stars and Klippers have opened their respective seasons facing off with a home-and-home set.
The tradition dates back to the 2012-13 season. Perhaps adding additional importance to Friday’s opener, the team that has won the first game of the home-and-home set during that time has gone on to win the second game as well in each of the last six years.
