After a lengthy Christmas break, the Norman Northstars begin the new year this weekend on the road.

 

Norman currently sits 11th overall in the Manitoba  U-18 AAA league and are currently 9 points out of the final playoff spot.

 

Defense continues to be a problem  as the Northstars have given up way to many goals,  including 143 in 30 games which is the third most in the league. They haven't been too  bad offensively, scoring 103 goals which has them ranked 6th overall.

 

The Northstars begin their three game road trip tomorrow against the Interlake Lightning at the Teulon Rockwood Arena at 7pm. They will then face the 7th place Eastman Selects in a pair of games on Saturday and Sunday.

 

Home town product, Tyler Wamboldt leads Norman in scoring with 46 points in 29 games including 22 goals.

 

Jake Brown is the lone player from Flin Flon on the team this year and the first year defenseman has 4 points in 29 games.
