North Stars look to bring the heat against Ice Wolves
After nearly a full week off since their last game Saturday, the Battlefords North Stars will return to action Friday night at the Civic Centre, as the team welcomes the La Ronge Ice Wolves to town.
Friday’s matchup will mark the first of back-to-back games for the Stars against La Ronge this weekend. The team enters play with a league-best 15-1 record, and perfect 3-0 record against the Ice Wolves through the opening three games of the season-series.
On the other side, the Ice Wolves are 7-9-2 on the year. Much tougher an opponent than their record may indicate, La Ronge opened the season 0-5, but have battled back with a 7-4-2 record since.
Friday will mark the forth meeting between the Stars and Ice Wolves this season. Despite the familiarity between the two sides, the Stars’ offensive attack may look a bit different than that of earlier this year.
