By Miguel Frenrich Staff Reporter

North Battleford mayor David Gillan has finalized a friendly wager with Flin Flon mayor George Fontaine to cheer on their hometown teams in the upcoming Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League championship as they battle for the Canterra Seeds Cup. Both mayors have agreed that the losing team’s mayor will don the winning team’s jersey at their next city council meeting.

“It’s always exciting when your community hosts a championship event, and certainly, the SJHL finals between the (Battlefords) North Stars and the (Flin Flon) Bombers will be very entertaining,” said Mayor Gillan.

“As a hockey fan, this year’s season has been a very electric one to watch, and I definitely look forward to seeing Mayor Fontaine donning a North Stars jersey at an upcoming council meeting,” continues Gillan.
