Stars set for showdown with Ice Wolves
The Battlefords North Stars are 3-0-2 over their last five games, including most recently coming off a 2-1 overtime loss to the division-rival Humboldt Broncos. The North Stars will aim to get themselves back on the winning track in short order tonight, as the club heads to Pinehouse to take on the La Ronge Ice Wolves.
La Ronge enters play a desperate group, eager to try and snap a 14-game losing skid that has seen the team go winless since Oct. 26th.
The tough year has led to some recent changes for the Ice Wolves, as the team will look a lot different than the wolf pack the Stars saw the last time the two sides faced off, Oct. 30.
The major moves started when on November 29, La Ronge traded their captain, 20-year-old, Kolby Johnson to Dauphin of the MJHL for 19-year-old, Samson Mouland and future considerations. Then, just three days later, the club dealt 20-year-old Mitch Zambon to Humboldt in an effort to restock the prospect cupboards further, receiving a player development fee and three prospects in return.
