This weekend in the Battlefords, close to 50 North Star hopefuls took the ice for a weekend of drills and scrimmages at the North Battleford Civic Center. It was another successful spring camp, and North Star's coach Ken Pearson was pleased with what he saw.
After the final game this morning, Pearson spoke highly of the '92 born kids and said that they showed great effort throughout the weekend.
Pearson wouldn't single anyone out, but he said that the forwards as a collective did not dissapoint. North Star fans will be familiar with the likes of Tanner Schwab, and Calder Neufeld who both saw time time with the Junior A club this year.
The Battlefords Midget AAA Stars had a strong showing as Ryne Keller, Justin Lund, Colby Cave, Chad Tichkowsky and Jesse Gerbig were all forwards last year with the Midget AAA Stars.
Defensively we saw the likes of Kyle Schmidt, Kolten Baptiste perform well. Both will be expected to compete for a roster spot next year with the big club. Dillon Forbes and Mitch Gartner played with the AAA Stars last year, and didn't look at all out of place.
As for goaltending, only three were able to make it this weekend but all made an impression with the coaching staff. Lukas McDonald ('92 Swift Current Legionnaires) Blair Mahon ('94 AAA Stars) and Ryland Pashovitz ('95 Saskatoon Generals) saw a lot of rubber through the weekend.
Pearson also made sure to commend the 'out-of-towners' for not only braving the elements just to get here, but he said that they performed well and gave him something to think about.
Pearson's next objective is to continue recruiting for next season and soon he will be heading East to watch the Anavet Cup and Memorial Cup.
