Both the Saskatchewan Prairie Hockey League (SPHL) and Sask West Hockey League (SWHL) had multiple teams in action over the weekend.

In its second weekend of regular season play, the SPHL saw both blowouts and one-goal affairs.

The Battleford Beaver Blues won on the road in Spiritwood, 7-2 against the Timberwolves, to improve to 2-0 this season.

Edam Three Stars also stayed perfect, after they blew out the Cut Knife Colts 13-3 on Friday. The Colts bounced back on Saturday to edge out the Radisson Wheatkings 6-5 and even their season record at 1-1.

Meanwhile, the Glaslyn North Stars triumphed over the Maymont Settlers 7-6 on Friday and the Shellbrook Silvertips put up double digits on the Meota Combines, winning 10-4. The Hafford Hawks also blew out the Timberwolves on Friday 13-1.
