Soo visit rescheduled
NORTH BAY, Ont. — The North Bay Battalion’s postponed visit to the Soo Greyhounds has been rescheduled for 7:07 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 25, the Ontario Hockey League announced Wednesday.
The game originally was scheduled Nov. 29 as the first of a back-to-back set, but the City of Sault Ste. Marie closed GFL Memorial Gardens because of a snowstorm.
The second game was played as scheduled on Nov. 30 and resulted in a 3-2 Battalion win.
The rescheduling will extend a three-game western swing by the Battalion to face the Saginaw Spirit, Flint Firebirds and, lastly, the Sarnia Sting, with that game on Sunday, Feb. 23. The Troops then will head to Sault Ste. Marie instead of directly back to North Bay.
The new Soo visit will result in the Troops playing six straight road games, matching a season high set Sept. 28 to Oct. 12.
