They will have to play both Mississauga and Peterborough, who are within striking distance of the Battalion, but Head Coach Stan Butler says they can’t look beyond tonight’s (Thursday) match-up against Sudbury.

He says the rivalry is starting to build between the two northern Ontario squads and despite their record in the standings the Troops aren’t looking past them.

The Battalion are 3-1-1 against Sudbury this season.
