A number of former Battlefords Sharks players returned to the Battleford Arena ice Thursday night to take on the current Sharks squad in an all-star alumni contest.
It was a game that saw little scoring for much of the contest. The Sharks and the Alumni each scored a goal through two periods, but the Alumni Sharks held a 2-1 lead as each alumni goal counted for two points during the period.
A 10-minute long third period was added in which the Sharks scored twice to take a 3-2 lead. The game then ended with a shootout session that saw the Sharks score twice and the Sharks Alumni three times for a 5-5 score, and i that was how the game ended.
The Alumni Sharks who were on the ice Thursday were Jolie McConnell, Sarah Oliphant, Ashley Gaultier, Brittany Babcock (Hoganson), Taylor Cave, Keinyn Nordell, Brooke Lonoway, Britney George, Shayna Thomas, T.J O'Donnell and Ashley Blaquiere.
While the game itself celebrated the proud Sharks tradition, it also promoted a good cause. Donations of non-perishable food items were accepted for admission to the game, with those to be donated to the Food Bank.
