The 2016-2017 Norman Northstars team has officially been announced. After a weekend of kids battling for just 21 spots on the roster, the final roster has been finalized.
Among the headlines was the move to take three goaltenders for the team. Braedin Melsted, Kenton Brass and Peter Ross were all picked up for goaltending duties.
The move to use three goaltenders was surprising with rumours circulating that the team would only select two goalies.
Seven Thompsonites were put on the roster this year, with four from Cross Lake and two from Norway House.
The Northstars first game will be played on September 30th in Morden.
