Here is a rundown of the action involving some of the local hockey teams from this past week:
Battlefords Stars
The past weekend saw the Battlefords Stars lose to the Regina Pat Canadians on Saturday by a 6-0 final score. They then fell Sunday to Yorkton by a 5-3 final score on the road.
The Stars got goals from Brendan Albert and Colby Ralston to build a 2-0 lead through one period. Cole Youngman put the Stars back in front in the second period after Yorkton had come back to tie the game at 2-2. But Yorkton scored three times in the third to prevail.
The Stars next action is Jan. 10 in Prince Albert and Jan. 12 at Beardys.
