Stars aim for fourth-straight win in captain’s homecoming
The Battlefords North Stars have won three-straight games heading into Saturday as the team travels to Gull Lake to take on the Division-rival Notre Dame Hounds.
Although not technically a “home game,” Gull Lake is the hometown of North Stars’ captain, defenseman Cody Spagrud.
“I think there will be lots of people there [cheering me on],” Spagrud said when asked how big he anticipates his personal cheering section to be. “I don’t think I can afford all those tickets, so hopefully they pay for them themselves,” he added with a laugh.
The North Stars will enter action Saturday night with a 23-10-8 record through their first 40 games. With 52 points, the Stars sit second in the Global Ag. Risk Solutions Division, just a single point back of Kindersley for top spot.
