Battalion back on home ice

It’s been three weeks since the North Bay Battalion played a game at Memorial Gardens to accomodate the world women’s curling event.

But, they’re back tonight (Thursday) with a key playoff matchup.

Down two games to one, the Troops host Kingston in game four of their OHL Eastern Conference Quarter final.

Coach Stan Butler says his team has two priorities tonight.

“To score early would be good and the other thing is we can’t take penalties so we’re down two men it’s tough to do,” he says.

Butler says Kingston is a good team but his club has confidence too.

Forward Justin Brazeau says he’s looking forward to a home game.

“We’re going to try and feed off our home crowd. Every hit they go crazy so we’re looking forward to the support,” he says.

Broadcast time on Country 600 CKAT is 6:55 pm.
