Down but not out: North Stars force game 5 with crazy 9-6 win
In perhaps the most utterly ridiculous game of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League season so far, the Battlefords North Stars topped the Estevan Bruins 9-6 to force a game 5 this Thursday, as the win means they now trail 3-1 in the best-of-7 semifinal series.
It would be an understatement to say the nearly 2,000 fans in attendance got their money’s worth with the 15 combined goals, though for the coaches it was a different story.
Still, North Stars head coach Brandon Heck said it’s not how the win happened that matters.
“Doesn’t matter to me,” Heck said. “Just glad it happened.”
