All weekend long, it was the Battlefords taking on the Notre Dame Hounds in the SJHL, female midget AAA and male midget AAA hockey levels.
With respect to the latter, the Battlefords AAA Stars hoped for a better result at the Civic Centre than the junior North Stars had against the Hounds the previous evening, when they lost in a shootout.
The Stars wasted no time getting on the board. Jayden Nachtegaele scored at the 34-second mark to give the Stars the lead. Tyson Meyers got the assist.
Jared Power tied it, however, at the 4:20 mark, before the Stars took the lead again at the 12:41 mark on a goal by Kent Hanson from Owen Lamb and Mason Mullaney.
But Loeden Schauffler's power play marker tied it with 2:12 remaining in the first period. Shots were 15-15 though one.
There was no scoring in the second as the Hounds out shot the Stars in that period 10-9.
The Hounds took the lead on Power's second of the game in the third, but the Stars tied it up midway through on a goal by Jordan Mish with Donavon Beatty assisting.
That made it 3-3. As it turned out, that would be it for the scoring in the third period as the game moved to overtime. Shots through three periods favoured the Stars 37-34.
The overtime lasted only two minutes and eight seconds before Cole Kirkup moved past two Stars defenders and put the puck in the net past Jake Taylor on the Hounds' second shot on goal in the period.
Final score, 4-3 Hounds. That completed a sweep of the weekend for all three Hounds teams versus the Battlefords.
Next action for the Stars is on the road Sunday in Prince Albert versus the Mintos.
