First ever Battlefords AA female midget team off to great start
The Midget A female Sharks are playing in their third season in the North Sask Female Hockey League, but one level up, there’s a brand new Sharks team in its inaugural season.
And they’re already making their mark.
It’s a first for the Battlefords area to have a AA midget female team at all, and the AA Sharks are currently in third place in the seven-team division of the NSFHL with a 2-4-1 record.
“We’re doing really well, considering it’s a first-year team and we’ve not had one before,” Sharks AA coach Jim Puffalt, whose daughter Madison plays on the team, said. “We’re … pretty excited to have a new team in the area and have an opportunity for female players to hone their skills.”
