Monday.

First off, The Battlefords North Stars are pleased to announce that the Northwest Hockey Development Assocation has generously provided the Battlefords North Star's hockey club with a check for $10,000.

The presentation was made at the Civic Center Monday afternoon courtesy of N.W.H.D.A. treasurer Hugh Martin to North Star's coach Ken Pearson and Board of Director Darren Huxley.

The Northwest Hockey Development Association has long been one of the primary partners with the North Stars and has donated a ton of time and money towards the North Star's over the years.

Fans may not realize it, but when they go to the rink and buy a snack and a drink, they are being served by N.W.H.D.A. volunteers. The money spent goes directly back into Minor and Junior Hockey in the Battlefords.

If you run into a volunteer or member of the N.W.H.D.A. make sure you thank them because their tireless efforts are appreciated greatly.

As for the upcoming season, Darren Huxley expressed full confidence moving forward that the Stars will be in the running for a league championship. Huxley said, "There's still a sour taste in our mouths, but Ken (and the coaching staff) has our full support moving forward."

Keep checking the Star's website and the blog, because details regarding the Annual North Star's Golf Tournament will be posted shortly.

Don't miss the Co-Op Leisure Time Sports Fix tonight. Guests include: NSRBL Co-Commissioner Kelvin Collier, The voice of the Brandon Wheat Kings, Bruce Luebke, and the Toronto Blue Jay's beat writer for the Toronto Star, Morgan Campbell.

It was one of those days where I went to the office with a blank canvas, and thanks to the above three, I was able to put together a really exciting, informative show.

Enjoy the weather and make sure you don't burn yourself!

Cheers.
