U18 NorthWest Stars attend Fred McBeth Western Canadian Tourney
The NorthWest Stars U18 AA hockey team are in action this weekend in Regina, for the Fred McBeth Western Canadian U18 AA Tournament.
Taking place at the Queen City’s Co-operators Centre Friday through Sunday (Jan. 12-14), the NorthWest Stars are guaranteed to play three games through the round-robin schedule, with the potential for more come the start of the playoff rounds, Sunday.
Currently in the midst of a bit of a rebuilding year, sitting 11th in the Saskatchewan AA Hockey League’s ‘Centre Four Standings’ with a 4-13-2-1 record through 20 games, the NorthWest Stars have played some of their best hockey of late, with at least a single point in two of their last three games, coming off a 6-3 win over Warman last weekend.
Head coach, Lee Ulmer said the key to keeping the ball rolling heading into this weekend will be putting together ‘a full 60 minutes,’ playing to their strengths as a mobile group and skating hard throughout.
