North Stars mid-season roster reflection part one
The Battlefords North Stars are 19-9-6 through their first 34 games heading into the Christmas break, riding the strength of a three-game winning streak.
The team’s 44 points have the black and silver sitting in third place within the Global Ag. Risk Solutions Division, just a single point back of Humboldt for second spot while holding three games in hand, and just four points back of Kindersley for tops in the division.
Expectations have been high for the North Stars this season, coming off a year that saw the team win their division, and advance to the semifinals in the post-season.
The Stars came into the 2018-19 season with a lot of turnover from last years’ group. With as many as 12 rookies dressed within the lineup at any given time, this year’s rendition of the club has provided opportunity for younger players to make an impact from the get-go. Team members have seen that so far and hope to continue as a road-heavy stretch run awaits the club in the second-half of the year.
