Young a goal scorer at every level
It wouldn’t be much of a surprise to North Stars fans to learn that Layne Young has always played forward.
The North Stars sniper was a goal scorer his whole life, including this season where he leads the team with 14 goals, good for the third most in the league.
But one thing fans might not know is that Young hails from Paradise Hill, Sask., a place so small the Battlefords North Stars roster is bigger than the entire graduating class of Young’s high school.
The village of roughly 500 people is about an hour and a half northwest of North Battleford.
