Though it may be a little too late for the North Stars to have a hope for that particular award, they proved last Monday at Midland Arena that they can ease up when they want to. The North Stars were tagged for nary a single minor as they drew to a 7-7 tie with Duggans Polar Kings. For the North Stars, who lead the league in penalty- minutes with 213 in 15 games -- it was quite a feat indeed.
