North Stars Delainey to return for fourth season
The Battlefords North Stars will have an offensive weapon in their lineup next year they weren’t expecting. Forward Reed Delainey will be returning for a fourth season with the team.
In early 2015 Delainey received a scholarship to the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York and was originally committed to play for the Tigers in the 2016-17 season.
“(Rochester) wanted me to go there next year, they were pushing for it,” Delainey said. “It was me who brought it up to them about not going. I’m not disappointed at all; I think another year under my belt will help me in the long run.”
In his three years in the Battlefords, Delainey scored 39 goals and 51 assists in 124 games. He’s been a staple of the North Stars’ specialty teams over his three years, and has big expectations for himself for 2016-17.
