Wolverines fall to Blizzard 5-3

The Wayway Wolverines had their 6 game winning streak snapped on Thursday night with a 5-3 defeat to the OCN Blizzard.

Brett Lafond, David Haaf and Russell Turner scored for the Wolverines while Brenden Fiebelkorn stopped 27 shots in a losing cause.

The Wolverines will start a 3 games in 3 nights trip on Friday in Selkirk at 7:30.

Terriers' Cassan named Co SJHL Coach of the Year



For the first time since Bob Beatty of Humboldt and Don Chesney of Yorkton split the award in 2003, we have a tie for the SJHL Coach Of The Year and, again, it involves Humboldt and Yorkton.
Trent Cassan, who doesn’t turn 30 until June, just completed his third full year as head coach of the Terriers and he’s had his team in contention each season. He took over with eight games remaining in the 2009-10 campaign and, promptly marched a club that barely made the playoffs all the way to the SJHL final. The Terriers returned to the league finals in 2010-11 and then went 33-20-2-and-3 in 2011-12, losing in the division semi-finals. This season, Cassan guided the Terriers to a first place finish of 36-14-1-and-3, the best record the club has had since Cassan has been at the helm. He accomplished this, despite having a team with two unproven Junior ‘A’ goaltenders at the beginning of the season. The Terriers are also void of a game breaking offensive player, but Cassan has molded the club into one that is incredibly deep and can get contribution from all four lines and all six defensemen.

Mils' Wakaluk named SJHL MVP; McNulty named SJHL POY

 


MOST VALUABLE PLAYER:
Alex Wakaluk, Melville Millionaires
1993 G Alex Wakaluk (Bellevue AB) backstopped the Melville Millionaires to one of the best records in the SJHL, all the while being one of the busiest netminders in the SJHL.  Wakaluk goes into the final couple of games having appeared in 44 of the team’s 52 games and he sits third overall in goals against average with a 2.31-ledger, all the while being the last line of defense on a club that has struggled to put together a blue line worthy of being considered comparable to the other elite teams in the league.  Wakaluk has as 2.31 GAA and a SPCT of .929, which ranks second in the league.  His back-ups this year have posted a combined GAA of well over 3.00 and a SPCT well under .900; further illustrating Wakaluk’s importance to the success of the Millionaires.  He leads all goalies in wins and is second in minutes played and is also second in shutouts with five.  He has faced more rubber than any other puckstopper in the league, seeing an average of well over 32 shots a night.



PLAYER OF THE YEAR:
Ian McNulty, Melville Millionaires

1992 F Ian McNulty (Airdrie AB) is poised to win the SJHL scoring championship as he leads teammate Russell Trudeau by three points with two games to play.  McNulty, who has a scholarship to the University of Connecticut for this Fall, fell five points shy of a scoring championship last season.  McNulty is a well rounded player, further evidenced by the fact that despite leading the league in points, he is not amongst the top five in powerplay points, which is the easiest way for skilled players to register offensive production.  McNulty’s 25 goals are only four off the league leader and just four of his tallies have come with the man advantage.  He does have four game winning goals and he also leads the league in assists despite missing five games earlier in the year due to injury.  In the five games McNulty was absent, the Mils struggled to score and win hockey games.

Stamps play well but fall in Dauphin.

The Swan Valley Stampeders finished the hockey game with only 15 skaters and played right with the 4th ranked team in the nation but they lost their 4th straight a 4-2 decision to Dauphin.

Jagger Thomas opened the scoring for the game on the PP for the Stamps to make it 1-0 but the Kings would get their own powerplay goal as Daulton Siwak put it home to make it 1-1 after 1 period.

The Stamps would regain their 1 goal lead as Captain Dylan Reimer would get his 20th goal of the season on the PP to make it 2-1. But Jesse Sinatynski and the Kings would get even with a powerplay once again as he would get his league leading 39th goal to make it 2-2. Then with just under 3 minutes left in the 2nd Jon Gaudet would give the Kings their first lead of the game as he ripped a slapper past goalie Landon Noel to make it 3-2 Kings after 40 minutes.

The teams would go back and forth in third in a very entertaining period, but the lone goal would be an empty netter by Siwak with only 1 seconds remaining to give Dauphin a 4-2 victory and their 16th straight win.

Jeremy Pominville stopped 22 shots for the win, while Stamps goalie Landon Noel was absolutely fantastic stopping 48 of 51 shots in a losing cause.

The Stamps will continue their 3 in 3 on Saturday when they host the Virden Oil Capitals at 7:30 at the Centennial Arena.
==================
While in Humboldt, the Melville Millionaires managed to get a point and stay alive for 1st in the Sherwood as they fell 5-4 in the shootout to the Humboldt Broncos.

Russell Trudeau led the way with 1G and 3A to lead way while Ian McNulty had 2 goals and Sean Aschim scored the other for the Mils who now sit 1 point behind Yorkton for 1st.

Alex Wakaul stopped 36 shots in a losing cause.

(MLV to get 1st: A win on Saturday and a Terrier regulation loss on Sunday)

The Mils will play their final regular season game on Saturday when they host the Battlefords 7:30 HCUC.

The Yorkton Terriers fell 5-1 the Melfort Mustangs on Friday night.
