COLUMN: Evaluating the North Stars season at the halfway mark
With the SJHL regular season now officially half over for the Battlefords North Stars, I thought it would be a good time to look back on the first 29 games and evaluate some of the smaller details.
There is no question that overall the first half has been a huge success for the team – they sit first in the league at 23-6-0, have won 15 of their last 16 games, and their goal differential blows the rest of the league out of the water at +55 (the next best is +24 from Estevan).
But let’s break things down a little bit further, to see if there are any areas of concern or if this type of strong first half can be expected in the second half of the year.
