The Battle River Hockey League took a break over the Christmas season with games resuming on Jan. 3.
The race is on as teams jockey for the best playoff position.
The Tofield Satellites currently sit atop the standings with 26 points.
The Big Valley Oil Kings and the Daysland Northstars both have 20 points with the Oil Kings having two games in hand.
Hardisty is in fourth place with 11 points.
The Hardisty Stampeders had a home-and-home series with the Satellites on the weekend.
The Satellites took the first game in Hardisty 6-5. The Stampeders had a short bench with only 11 skaters. A good effort kept the game close.
The Daysland Northstars played three games last week and started a new winning streak.
With only two previous wins on the season, the Northstars crawled out of the basement in the BRHL to secure third place overall.
The teams in the Battle River Hockey League (BRHL) are gearing up for the upcoming season with some pre-season action this past weekend.
I am a player in the Battle River Hockey League. Like now, sometimes when I am driving to the rink, I have time to be thinking about hockey. Sometimes I think about my younger years when I thought I had a chance to make the NHL. I think about that a lot actually. That was my dream as a kid. A lot of parents thought so too, mine included. It didn’t happen for me, like it didn’t happen for every single guy I play with and against and for various reasons.
The Northstars were looking to clinch the series and the Blades were trying to stay alive being down 3-1 in the series.
The game had everything the fans want to see; pretty goals, amazing saves, body checks, and consistent officiating.
