When the first place team in the Heritage Junior Hockey League's Northern Division meets the first place team in the South you can bet sparks will fly.

That's the situation that will take place tonight (October 19) in Airdrie's Ron Ebbesen Arena when the Airdrie Thunder play host to the Okotoks Bisons.

The Thunder have beaten every team they've faced this season in compiling a 9 and 0 record.  In the process, they've outscored their opposition 69 - 18.  The Bisons aren't far off that pace with an 8 - 1 and 1 record in the Southern Division.  They've also handily outscored their opponents 55 to 15.

Tonight's action heats up at 8:00 pm.

In Didsbury, the Mountainview Colts, who are second behind the Thunder in the Northern Division, entertain the Blackfalds Wranglers.  Game time at the Didsbury Rec Complex is 8:00 pm.

The Cochrane Generals hit the road tonight to play the Cubs in Medicine Hat.
