North Stars look for third straight win in Humboldt

Nov 11, 2026 | 12:22 PM

The Battlefords North Stars head to Humboldt today to take on the Broncos in a Nutrien Division clash. 

The North Stars (5-11-1-0, fourth in the Nutrien Division) are heating up heading into the game, winning two straight and three of their last four. 

North Stars head coach Connor Logan said he’s seen improvement in the past stretch but knows they can keep going. 

“You look at the stretch of hockey prior to that. There was some good, some bad, some in between. But a lot of consistency in the errors that we’re making that were individual errors and errors with us trying to play the game the wrong way, dance around,” he said. 

“I think just in the last four games, we played a lot more direct and bought in and had a little bit of success, but no complacency here.” 

Meanwhile, the Broncos (10-5-1-1, second in the Nutrien Division) are coming off a 7-4 loss to the Weyburn Red Wings. 

The North Stars are going back to Nathan Claydon in net after a two-game absence. 

“He’s got a chip on his shoulder right when a young player goes in there and has a lot of success. I think it’s going to bring the best out of Nathan,” Logan said. 

“He’s a great kid. He’s a hard worker. Had a good week of practice. You know he knows going into this one he’s got to bring it and I’m excited to see it happen.” 

This is the fourth matchup between the North Stars and Broncos this season. In the first three, the North Stars are 1-1-1-0 against Humboldt. 

Their lone win against Humboldt was a 5-4 overtime victory on Sept. 26 when Owen Nelson was the overtime hero. 

Heading into the game, Michiel Leenders leads the team in points with six goals and nine assists for 15 points in 17 games. He capped that off with a four-assist performance in the last game. 

Meanwhile, Connor Miller leads the Broncos in scoring with eight goals and 12 assists for 20 points in 15 games. 

The North Stars aim for their third consecutive victory, while the Broncos are trying to avoid back-to-back losses. 

Puck drop is at 2 p.m., with the Ultra Print pregame show at 1:30 p.m. on CJNB/CJNS.
