Zubko Joins Byczynski Brothers In Louisiana

The Byczynski brothers aren't the only familiar faces suiting up for the Louisiana Ice Gators of the Southern Professional Hockey League this season.

Kirk and Clark will also be joined by former Terrier captain Cody Zubko.

Zubko, 23, Kirk, 24, and Clark, 22, all spent significant time as Terriers, but all three were never teammates at the same time, aside from when Clark AP'd for a handful of games as a 17-year-old back in 2007-2008.

Kirk played three full seasons in Yorkton (2006-2009), a total of 151 regular season games, and finished his junior career on the Terriers' top defense pairing, alongside Greg Coburn in 2008-2009.

His younger brother Clark, played in 104 regular season games over two season (2008-2010), before being acquired by the MJHL's Swan Valley Stampeders in a future considerations deal that saw Troy Smukowich come to Yorkton. In Swan, Clark was named MJHL Defenseman Of The Year in 2010-2011.

Zubko would be one of the all-time leaders in games played with the Terriers, suiting up for 192 regular season games over four full seasons (2006-2010). He captained the Terriers in his fourth and final season, to an unexpected Sherwood Conference Championship and league final appearance in 2009-2010, and led the team 28 points in 21 post season games.

Zubko (Preeceville/Stenen, SK) played part of one season with the Fayetteville FireAnts, also of the SPHL, and a season and a half with the U of R Cougars in the CIS prior to this season. Kirk played senior for his hometown Bredenbury Cougars between his junior career ending and now, while Clark, the youngest of the three, is the savvy vet for the Ice Gators, having suited up for them a year ago, and put up an impressive 15 points (1g-14a) in his rookie campaign.

When asked what it'll be like to have his big brother as his "rookie," Clark responded saying "What goes around... comes around!"

The Ice Gators are off to a great start to the 2012-2013 season. They beat the Huntsville Havoc 4-1 and 4-3 on opening weekend, October 26th and 27th, to get a 2-0 record out of the gates. Clark already has a goal and a +1 rating, Kirk has an assist, and is +3, while Cody got into a scrap and is +1.

The Gators play almost all their games on weekends, and hit the road for the first time this season on Friday and Saturday (Nov 2/3), to Mississippi and Pensacola.

The Yorkton Terriers (6-1-0-0, 2nd in Sherwood)  took the first installment of the Highway 10 rivalry, defeating the Melville Millionaires (6-2-1, 1st in Sherwood) 4-3 in the shootout on home ice.

The Terriers opened the scoring 2:51 into the 1st as Brenden Poncelet put home a gift into the open Mils net for his 2nd of the season with Dylan Johnson drawing the lone helper. The Mils though wasted no time evening the game at 1 apiece as TJ Reeve tipped home his first of two on the night off a great low shot by Rylan Badduke just 3:28 later and it was tied at 1. But it was the Terriers getting their lone powerplay goal of the evening as Brady Norrish shot from the top of circle beat Mils Goalie Alex Wakaluk and it was 2-1.
Shots- 17-13 MLV

While in the 2nd period, TJ Reeve got his 2nd of the game and 4th goal of the season taking a feed from Allan Kilback and putting it home to even the hockey game at 2. The Mils would take their first lead of the hockey game as Mils captain Lucas Froese captitalized on a Terriers turnover and walked in alone on Kale Thomson and buried it for his 6th of the season and it was 3-2.

Shots- 13-13

There would be no scoring in the first half of the 3rd period before Terriers forward Tyler Giebel tied the hockey game at 3-3 his 3rd of the season and that would send both teams to over time for the first time this season

Shots- 10-7 MLV

In the overtime session there was good pace back and forth early and the Terriers thought they won it but couldn't get a stick on the open puck as the net was wide open. Then Mils Russell Trudeau took a tripping penalty and that sent the Terriers to their 4th powerplay of the game, but that was short lived as Terriers' defenceman Austin Bourhis who was playing his 1st game since being sent back by the Moose Jaw Warriors took a roughing penalty. The Mils would get a short powerplay late in the extra frame and had many glorious chances even hitting the post a couple times

Dallas Rossiter, Yorkton TerriersRossiter had one assist in two games played for the Terriers this past week; both games ended up being Yorkton victories. Rossiter has good size at 6’2” and 200 lbs and has been an excellent addition their blueline, playing with a physical edge. Rossiter also has 27-penalty minutes through the first five games of the season and Yorkton has been one of the stingiest in the league at giving up goals. Rossiter has been a key cog as to why.
