Luke Keller (Tilter) started a Smash Bros. group when he was a student at North Battleford Comprehensive High School where his friends Noah Cooke (Nidgy) and Nathan Perry (Jazz) met to play the various Smash Bros. video games.

After they graduated, Cooke suggested they start up a Smash Bros. club where they could continue to play outside of the NBCHS. They are now in their second year of the club.

The club meets every Monday at 5:30 p.m. at the North Battleford Library. Every couple of months the club has a tournament. Updates, announcements, and upcoming events are put on their Facebook group, North Battlefield.

Their most recent tournament had 22 people registered who competed with each other playing different Smash Bros. games. At the end of the tournament the winners were: Smash 4 Singles – Taylor Stanley; Melee Singles – Dennis St. Martin; Project M Singles – Dennis St. Martin; Smash 64 Singles – Dennis St. Martin; Rivals of Aether Singles – Luke Keller.
