AAA Stars split weekend games
The AAA Stars split two weekend games, losing 6-2 on Sunday at home against the Notre Dame Hounds after winning 4-3 in a shootout against Swift Current on Saturday.
Sunday’s game wasn’t as bad as the score indicated, although the Hounds began to outplay the Stars as the game went on.
“I thought we had a great start on Sunday, especially the first 10 minutes, despite getting home late [from Swift Current Saturday night],” Stars head coach Jean Fauchon said in a phone interview on Monday. “I thought we played well for most of the game when it was 5-on-5. If you look at the stats I think it was a 1-0 game when it’s 5-on-5. Just the special teams came into play there and we weren’t able to keep up with them on special teams.”
The Hounds went 3-for-13 on the man advantage.
