North Stars rout Hounds to clinch Division title
The Battlefords North Stars scored early and often Wednesday night as they clinched their second division title in the past three seasons.
Layne Young led the way with a hat trick, while Coby Downs had a goal and assisted on three others to give the North Stars a decisive 10-3 win over the Notre Dame Hounds.
The scoring started less than two minutes into the game when Jake McMillen took the puck away on the forecheck behind the net, before cutting in front and beating Alexi Thibaudeau on the backhand at 1:46.
Less than six minutes later, Downs took a drop pass from Young and ripped a shot through the pads of Thibaudeau to make it 2-0.
