North Stars hold off Hounds for sixth win in a row
A slow start nearly came back to haunt the North Stars on Saturday night.
After a snooze fest from them and the Notre Dame Hounds in the first period, the North Stars fought through the daze and held on for a 2-1 win over their divisional opponent.
It was the sixth straight win for Battlefords, pushing their record to an impressive 14-5-0, just one point back of the league leading Humboldt Broncos.
“A streak is a streak until it’s over with and then you start another one so we’re not going to worry about it too much,” head coach Nate Bedford said following the win. “Every game is a fresh slate … and we’re just going to take it period by period. We’ve got to get better at starting strong and finishing strong as opposed to starting slow and finishing strong.”
