Thunder Bay North Stars Centennial Cup quest begins Friday
Just last week, the Thunder Bay North Stars were celebrating a dramatic Game 7 overtime victory to capture the SIJHL title.
They’re not finished yet, though.
The champs are in Summerside, PEI to compete for the Centennial Cup, Canada’s national Junior A championship tournament.
Paul Martin was Prime Minister the last time the North Stars were on the national stage. They went 2-2 and lost in the semifinal.
20 years later, they think they have the team to get it done. They’ll play Alberta’s Canmore Eagles on Friday to start the round robin. Manitoba’s Niverville Nighthawks are next on Saturday, then southeastern Ontario’s Rockland Nationals on Monday. They’ll play the tournament hosts on Tuesday as Summerside Western Capitals look to defend their barn to close out the round robin.
We’ll keep you posted as the results come in.
