His big contest was a hat trick in the second game against the Klippers on Friday, but he also had three points against them on Wednesday. He played his 150th career game as a Terrier on Sunday.

Heidt, who had been out all year, only needed 8:25 of the first period to get his name on the scoresheet as he picked up a helper in a win over Flin Flon on Friday.

With Wells and Colby Entz both on top of their game, the Mils may have one of the best 1-2 tandems in the league. He’s 4-and-5, 3.27, .902 overall. Runner-up: Joe Marcouiller, Yorkton.

Cole Keenleyside, Yorkton Terriers
1998 F Cole Keenleyside (Hazlet SK) helped the lowly Terriers pick up rare back to back wins against the Kindersley Klippers as well as an overtime point on Sunday against La Ronge Ice Wolves by contributing 4-goals and 2-assists in 3-games played. His big contest was a hat trick in the second game against the Klippers on Friday, but he also had three points against them on Wednesday. He played his 150th career game as a Terrier on Sunday.

Heidt, who had been out all year, only needed 8:25 of the first period to get his name on the scoresheet as he picked up a helper in a win over Flin Flon on Friday. Fans aren’t likely to see much more of the talented blueliner as he’s committed to Alaska-Anchorage for 2018-19. Runner-up: Josh McDougall, Nipawin.

Brandon Wells, Melville Millionaires

On Saturday, he turned back 27-of-28 and his teammates rallied for three in the third period for a 4-1 decision. With Wells and Colby Entz both on top of their game, the Mils may have one of the best 1-2 tandems in the league. He’s 4-and-5, 3.27, .902 overall. Runner-up: Joe Marcouiller, Yorkton.
MYSASK 411 SJHL ROOKIE OF THE WEEK:
