It was a successful season on the ice for the Battlefords North Stars, and it was just as prosperous for the people surrounding the ice.
The North Stars saw their largest average attendance in years with at least 948 fans attending their 28-regular season home games. With these numbers, it means a busy season at the concession, paired with hundreds of other hockey games, skating events and other special events at the Civic Centre. The concession is operated by the North West Hockey Development Association and, for another year, have generously given a donation back to the club.
NWHDA is a group of nearly 25 volunteers, and with the assistance of other local organizations, has been running the concession for years. NWHDA has been a strong supporter of the Battlefords North Stars and local hockey during their time here. This season was the most profitable for the NWHDA in 30 years.
After the bills were tallied and expenses paid, NWHDA made a donation to the North Stars for $10,000.
