While North Stars defenceman Connor Sych may not light up the score sheet on any given night, his presence is still felt.

It's always an eventful road trip for the Battlefords North Stars to the southeast region of the province, but this past weekend was perhaps more so than most.

It took a shootout session for the Midget AAA Battlefords Stars to pull out a road victory over the Prince Albert Mintos.

The Battleford AAA Sharks were at the Battleford Arena this weekend against their rivals the Prince Albert A&W Bears in female midget hockey action.

The Meota Combines continued to roll in Saskatchewan Prairie Hockey League action over the weekend.

The Battleford Beaver Blues (8-5-0-0) and Meota Combines (10-2-0-0) both picked up wins on the road Tuesday. In Maymont, the Beaver Blues played a rematch with the Settlers (4-4-0-1) and picked up a 9-5 win.

The Battlefords North Stars (18-13-6-0) power play looked far and away better than it has over the course of the season, but two short-handed goals from the Humboldt Broncos (16-19-3-0) was the difference in a 4-3 Broncos win Tuesday.

The Battleford Barons AA Atom Tier 1 team hosted the Wade Belak Memorial hockey tournament over the weekend, winning the championship.

Urgency. It is a word the Humboldt Broncos have been talking about, head coach Ryan Smith said. Last week, the team definitely demonstrated some urgency as it defeated the Yorkton Terriers in a pair of games.
