The community of Hillmond was the venue Saturday for Hockey Day in Saskatchewan, and the Battlefords North Stars celebrated the occasion with a 3-2 win over the Notre Dame Hounds.

The North Stars got off to a 3-0 lead with goals from Quintin Loon-Stewardson on the power play at 6;18 of period one, Elijah Loon-Stewardson and Matthew Fletcher assisting.

Seth Summers extended the lead to 2-0 after one period. Fletcher's goal made it 3-0 just 1:10 into the second period, with the Loon-Stewardsons both notching assists.

The third period saw Notre Dame come back to make a game of it with goals from Jarrett Penner at the 1:03 mark, and then by Jared Hamm at 15:12. But that would be all the scoring as the North Stars hung on.

The North Stars outshot Notre Dame 44-29 in the game; Austin Schwab got the win for the North Stars stopping 27 shots.

Next up on Jan. 21 and 22 is the SJHL-MJHL Showcase in Regina involving nine North Stars players. The North Stars are home again Friday against Melfort.
