Also the North Stars practice today with out three players: Casey Parker, Josh Betinol and Spencer Gosslein, as they were in Humboldt for the second day of the SJHL’s Team West evaluation camp. The players were competing for a roster spot on the Team West, which will compete in Nova Scotia in November in the World Junior A Challenge.

Coach Kevin Hasselberg was also in Humboldt scouting and assisting with evaluations.

An injury update – Ben Greenaway skated shortly by himself after practice and said that he is likely a week or two away from playing after a leg injury he suffered in pre-season.
