Northstars split the weekend on the road

---

In a thrilling match-up in Canberra on Saturday night the Northstars fought hard but went down 4-5 to the home team. Suffering a number of penalties, they fought hard to stay in the game.
 
“A highlight of the weekend is that our penalty kill was excellent in Canberra. Without a solid penalty kill and holding them to one for 13 power plays was the difference between us being in the game,” shared Head Coach Kevin Noble
 
In Erina on Sunday afternoon, the Northstars came out strong with 5 unanswered goals in periods one and two, but the Rhinos were able to get two back in the final third.
 
“I am happy we have finished the weekend with three points, and this means we are keeping pace to get first place (on the ladder). We want to finish as high as we can, and our goal is to finish at the top of the table,” stated Noble
 
“I think we can still get better defensively, our attention to detail and structure are a priority for us. I have all the confidence in the world that we can score goals, but for us its about what we give up not about what we get, so that will be something we continue to address and keep working on” Noble continued.
 
The Northstars will welcome Adelaide Adrenaline to Hunter Ice Skating Stadium on Sunday 25^th June with the puck drop at 4.00 pm.
