An uneventful first period led to the North Stars dominating the second with two goals from Battlefords’ Colby Bear and Easton Johns sending the Broncos into the second at 0-2.

The tables would turn for the Broncos in the third as Braiden Koran, Alec Saretzky; on the power play, and Cage Newans all had a chance to bury the puck and wrap up the game with a 3-2 win.

The hometown win would be a much higher scoring affairs as the two teams battled back and forth in the Broncos 6-4 win.
