Seven members of the Battlefords North Stars were among those recognized Friday night, as the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) announced their ‘on paper’ rosters for the annual SJHL/MJHL Joint-Showcase.

While this year’s tournament in Winnipeg (Jan 25-26) was ultimately cancelled last month due to COVID, Stars forwards Jake Southgate, Holden Doell, Dylan Esau, and Steven Kesslering; defencemen Tynan Ewart and Jordan Grill; and goaltender Michael Harroch were among those elected to represent Saskatchewan, had the tournament have taken place.

An annual event featuring the top college-eligible players from both the Saskatchewan and Manitoba junior leagues, rosters for the SJHL’s three teams are determined based on highest average placement within a comprehensive ranking of players done by each of the league’s 12 teams’ staff.
