The Battlefords AAA Stars (18-9-0-1) picked up an easy win, and a hard fought loss against the Swift Current Legionnaires (7-21-0-2) over the weekend.
Saturday, Brett Pongracz made 34 saves and Layne Young had two goals and an assist in an 8-0 trouncing.
It took the Stars nearly 14 minutes to get on the board, when Braydon Buziak knocked home a rebound after Legionnaires goalie Chantz Vinck made a great split save on the original chance. Jared Hillis and Owen Lamb were credited with assists.
Four and a half minutes later, Spencer Bast stole the puck along the far boards and centred for Young who made no mistake.
After Keelan Saworski scored his first goal as a member of the Stars just three minutes into the second period, Vinck turned the puck over behind his own net and Kyle Salaway scored, ending Vinck's day.
Vinck finished with 22 saves, and Caleb Lumbard took over, not faring much better.
The Stars scored a power-play goal just 57 seconds into the third period, when Brandon Lesko tapped home a rebound on a Young wraparound chance. Kaleb Dahlgren got the second assist.
Battlefords would add three more goals from Bast, Young and Troy Gerein for the 8-0 final.
Sunday saw a much different Legionnaires team.
Lumbard got the start in goal for Swift Current, and stood on his head making 54 saves, plus three more in the shootout for a 4-3 win.
The Stars jumped out to a 2-0 lead, on goals from Saworski and Chad Grambo.
Saworski took a pass from behind the net from Salaway, and scored his second goal in as many days 6:32 into the game. Keifer Hintz got the second assist.
Just 2:20 later, Bast was stopped on a partial break, but Grambo tucked home the rebound for an early 2-0 lead. Kaelen Holt was credited with the other assist.
The shots finished 25-4 in favour of the Stars after the first period, as Talen King wasn't tested often in the Battlefords net.
The Legionnaires picked up a pair of goals in the second period, as Matthew Kesslering and Tanner Brewster scored to even the game after two periods.
Early in the third, Swift Current took the lead on a power-play goal by Connor Odelein.
Two minutes later, the Stars tied the game when Dahlgren scored on the rebound of a Lesko shot.
The game finished with the shots a staggering 57-25 in favour of the Stars, but Lumbard stood tall getting his team to the shootout.
After King stopped Caleb Griffen and Odelein, Kesslering made a nice move before sliding the puck past a sprawling King to give his team the chance to win the game.
Traye Tkatchuk had to score to keep the game alive, but he sent the puck wide as he tried to pick the corner and the Legionnaires stormed the ice to celebrate the victory.
The Stars now travel to Beardy's to take on the Blackhawks (11-18-0-1) Thursday.
