North Stars’ captain Fletcher named SJHL Defenceman of the Month
North Stars’ captain and blue line stalwart, Matthew Fletcher has been named SJHL Defenceman of the Month, becoming the first rearguard to collect the honour this season.
Fletcher’s two-way acumen has played a key role in his team’s dominance through the opening month and a half of the campaign, as the Stars sit atop the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) standings with a 19-1 record.
A large reason for the Stars success this season is do to their dominance at both ends of the ice, spearheaded by the captain at each end.
The Battlefords lead all SJHL clubs in goals scored (92) and goals-against (46) this year.
