Stars chill Ice Wolves, stay hot with 4-3 win
The Battlefords North Stars defeated the La Ronge Ice Wolves 4-3 Friday night, as the team improved to 16-1 on the season in front of their hometown crowd at the Civic Centre.
Stars’ rookie, Hunter Partsch led the way for the team, opening the scoring with a goal just 4:30 into his SJHL debut.
A quick catch and release shot from the mid-slot area, Partsch’s tally not only gave the Stars a lead, but provided a spark that would continue to drive the team forward through the period.
Rylan Nivon made it 2-0 Battlefords about seven minutes later on a tip play in front of the La Ronge goal.
