battalion280x1602The North Bay Battalion and the Sudbury Wolves begin a home and home series tonight at Memorial Gardens.

The Troops will be in Sudbury tomorrow night.

Battalion Head Coach Stan Butler says they haven’t played their best hockey lately, but the schedule hasn’t been easy.

He says “we’ve had 50 percent of our team sick, probably bronchitis type of stuff, and then we get on the bus for X amount of hours and the guys who are healthy, by the end of the trip are now sick.”

Butler says with a short trip this week he feels the healthy Battalion should be on the ice for the start of the playoffs.

The Battalion only had 11 forwards dressed in their final game last weekend.

Catch tonight’s game on Country-600 CKAT at 6:35pm.
