Former North Stars defenceman wins junior title in Manitoba
A trade from the Battlefords North Stars to the Portage Terriers couldn’t have worked out better for Brock Weston, as the Terriers won the Manitoba Junior League championship for the second year in a row.
After an injury-riddled season with the North Stars in 2014-15, where Weston only suited up for 27 games, he said a trade was something he felt was necessary.
“It just wasn’t the right fit,” Brock said of his season with the North Stars. “I felt it would be better for me to get out of there. I wasn’t in the best position to be successful and help the team win, and if I wasn’t going to be successful I didn’t want to take away a roster spot from someone who would.”
The Portage Terriers were the best junior A team in Canada last year, winning the Royal Bank Cup on home ice as they hosted the event.
