North Stars move back into top-10; Hawks third overall in top-20
After posting four wins last week and giving up only three goals, the Battlefords North Stars have once again climbed into the top-10 of the Canadian Junior Hockey League power rankings.
They slipped out of the top-10 last week, but the Stars have now moved up two notches to number nine, thanks to a 4-2 win over La Ronge on Tuesday and a 2-1 victory over Weyburn on Thursday night. The Stars then finished the week with back-to-back shutouts, winning 7-0 over La Ronge Friday night and 1-0 against Notre Dame Saturday night.
The Stars (38-9-2-0) are also one win away from clinching their third straight division title and the team will have home ice advantage in the opening round of the playoffs starting in March.
The Canadian Junior Hockey League represents 10 leagues across Canada comprised of 130 teams.
