FIRST BIG NAME OFF THE BOARD: BERG

Press Release

The Battlefords North Stars have acquired 1991 Defenseman Mitch Berg from the Melfort Mustangs.

In return, Melfort receives 1992 D Zach MacLellan and 1993 F Jake Daughtry.

Berg joins a North Stars blue line that already includes the likes of Woody Klassen, Brody Luhning and Travis Sparrow.

In 31 games this season, Berg, the Mustangs' captain, had 6g-8a-14p in 31 games, after registering 23 points in 49 games a year ago.

The 6'3” 205 lb product of Saskatoon has WHL experience with Saskatoon and Seattle, and is now joining his third Bauer Conference team, as he began his SJHL days in La Ronge.
