The Yellowhead AAA Midget Chiefs hosted the Norman Northstars for a pair of games this past weekend in Shoal Lake. Both games proved to be extremely one-sided, as the Chiefs claimed 9-2 and 8-2 wins. In the first game, played on Saturday, Dec. 9, the Chiefs took control early with four goals in the first period. Norman could reply with only one of their own in the opening 20 minutes of action. Yellowhead followed that up with three more in the second, and a pair of goals in the third. The Northstars scored just one more before the end of the game, making the final score 9-2.
