Kindersley “Klips” Stars in OT
The Battlefords North Stars fell 3-2 to the Kindersley Klippers Saturday night at the NB Civic Centre.
Despite the loss, the North Stars still managed to earn three of a possible four points this weekend in their home-and-home showdown with their foe from two hours down the road, putting the Stars in second place of the Global Ag. Risk Solutions Division, just three points back of Kindersley for top spot.
One of the main reasons the Stars were able to lock up three points in their two-game return from Christmas break, has been the outstanding play of Stars’ netminder Joel Grzybowski.
The 19-year-old veteran has picked up right where he left off prior to the holiday layoff, amongst the elite goaltenders in the Saskatchewan Junior League. Grzybowski followed up a stellar outing Friday that saw the Hafford, Sask., product stop 31 of 33 Klipper shots, with an encore performance that saw the goalie turn aside 38 of the 40 shot his way Saturday.
