Thistles In Thunder Bay for Branch Playdowns

Its the last chance for the Kenora Triple "a" midget Thistles to do some damage.

The Thistles are in Thunder Bay for the start of the Northwest Branch Playdowns, where they will take on the Kings in a best-of-three series.

Coach Doug Novak says his team should be ready after taking some time off from a gruelling regular season in the Manitoba Midget Hockey League.

Two other branch playdowns will also take place this weekend in Thunder Bay, with the Northwest Triple "a" Bantam All-Stars and Triple "a" Peewee All-Stars facing Thunder Bay.
