Hockey
The AAA Midget season is right around the corner for the Battlefords AAA Stars, who begin their season at the Warman Showcase this weekend.
Their final preseason tune ups were this weekend against the Lloydminster Bobcats.
In the first contest at home at the Civic Centre, the Bobcats prevailed 4-3. Scoring for the Stars came from Tye Scherger and Eric Robbie in the first period and Colby Ralston in the second.
The next day the Stars travelled to Lloydminster for the rematch but it was the Bobcats who again prevailed, this time 4-2, putting a wrap on the preseason. The first Showcase game for the Stars is Saturday at 5 p.m., against Yorkton.
This weekend also marks the start of the female Midget AAA season for a number of clubs, but the Battlefords Sharks do not get their regular season started until Oct. 6 and 7 when they host Prince Albert at the Battleford Arena.
