North Stars impressive in shutout win over Mustangs
The North Stars kicked off their 2016 SJHL showcase on Sunday evening by playing their best game of the season yet, by far.
In front of a number of college scouts and a decent crowd, the North Stars took down the defending champion Melfort Mustangs easily, by a score of 4-0.
The North Stars were able to find room to move in all three zones. They only allowed 16 shots on goaltender Joel Gryzbowski, while peppering Mustangs goalie Evan Plotnik with 48 shots.
“It’s about time we put 60 minutes in,” head coach Nate Bedford said following the win, which will count for two points in the regular season standings. “Our guys got better as the game went on. That’s been our problem. We talked about it yesterday … we’ve had one good one, one average and one awful [period] and you can’t win like that.
