Newcastle forward Pat Nadin says there is a similar feeling among this year's Northstars campaign to when the team won back-to-back national titles in 2015-16.
A veteran of the side who played his 150th game earlier this year, Nadin was part of both championship-winning teams and said ahead of two exhibition games in Brisbane this weekend he believed the second-placed Northstars were on track to contend for their seventh Australian Ice Hockey League title.
