North Stars ‘excited and ready to go’ ahead of first preseason home game
“I don’t know, probably 24 or 25,” North Stars defenceman, Zane Florence said with a laugh.
That, after the blue liner was asked how many tickets he expected to be on the hook for Wednesday, when the Battlefords North Stars welcome the Kindersley Klippers to town for their first preseason home game.
“I’m sure my whole family will be here, and all my friends are going to be coming to watch, so it’ll be nice to see everybody come out and hopefully we can play a good game for them,” the Battlefords local added.
After all, while it may only be an exhibition contest, Wednesday’s game will mark the first time since Oct. 29 of last year (also a preseason contest) that the North Stars will be on the ice at the Access Communications Centre, for a home game in the community.
