Get out the brooms the Bears are sweepin’

Oct 15, 2017 | 3:46 PM

The Prince Albert Northern Bears have now swept both teams they’ve played to begin the 2017-18 Saskatchewan Female Midget AAA Hockey League season.

The Bears beat the Swift Current Wildcats 6-2 on Sunday, after a 3-2 win on Saturday at the Art Hauser Centre. The Bears also beat the Battlefords Sharks with a pair of 6-2 wins.

Abby Soyko and Jordan Ashe each had a pair of goals for the Bears on Sunday. Camryn Amundson and Jasper Desmarais teamed up for the other two. Desmarais leads Bears in scoring with four goals and eight points in four games played.

The Bears will have their biggest test so far this year on the weekend, playing a two-game road set against the only other undefeated team in the SFMAAAHL—the 5-0 Saskatoon Stars on Saturday and Sunday.
