The Yorkton Hyundai Terriers took the latest installment of the Highway 10 battle on Friday night defeating the Melville Millionaires 4-3 in front of over 1600 fans at the Farrell Agencies Arena.
Evan Sare kicked off the scoring for the Terriers in 1st as he got credited with the goal after it went into the open net off of Mils' defenceman Dylan Thackeray to give the home-side the early lead.
The Mils tied it up in the dying seconds as a one-timer off the draw from Zach McInytre beat Phillipe Bond clean for the Rhein product's 16th of the season to tie it up at 1-1 after 20 minutes.
In the 2nd, the Terriers regained their lead as after a mad scramble in front Alec Zawatsky fed it over to Terrier Captain Chantz Petruic who put home his 56th of the season past a sprawled out Kaleb McEachern to make it 2-1.
But once again the Mils responded as just 25 seconds later, Kolton Leslie fed Jake Spake right in the slot and the first year Mils' forward made no mistake for his 5th of the season to even it up at 2-2 through 40 minutes.
In the 3rd the teams would exchange goals just 30 seconds apart early in the period from Petruic and Luke Nkwma, who scored his team-leading 21st of the season to once again draw the Mils even at 3-3.
Petruic, who was named the SJHL's Player of the Year and MVP on Thursday, netted the GWG on the PP to complete the Hat-Trick to wrap up the scoring.
Phillipe Bond made 29 saves on 32 shots for the Terriers before he left the game with an injury in the 3rd and was relieved by back-up Matthew Pesenti who turned aside all 7 shots he faced.
Mils' netminder Kaleb McEachern was netted with the loss notching 27 saves on 31 shots.
With the win, the Terriers clinched home-ice advantage in round 1 of the SJHL Canalta Cup playoffs.

The Hounds scored first 13:55 into the 1st period as Kenzie MacKinnon stripped a Terrier defenceman behind their net and he walked out and slid it past Matthew Pesenti for his 5th of the season to give the home team the 1-0 lead.
They would add to their lead just under 5 minutes later as Curtis Wiebe was left open in the slot and he received a nifty feed from Captain Jared Hamm and he chipped it past the Terrier net minder for his 6th of the campaign to put the Hounds in front of the Terriers 2-0 after 20 minutes.
The Terriers' cut their deficit in half just 7:12 into the 2nd period when Jordan Guiney took a feed in the slot from Kaeden Taphorn and beat Riley Kohonick for his 17th of the season to make it 2-1.
But the Hounds before the end of the 2nd period grabbed a PP goal of their own as Sho Takai made 3-1 Hounds through 2 periods.
In the 3rd, the Terriers' made it a one goal game and against with 12:48 left in regulation it would be Guiney adding his 2nd of the night going off the far-post and in for his 18th of the year to cut the Terriers' within one.
Then with just 24 seconds left while short-handed and with the goalie pulled, the Terriers got the equalizer as Alec Zawatsky fed it over to a wide-open Keenan Taphorn who put it into the open night to make it a 3-3 game.
The Hounds carried a power play into overtime but it wasn't until the penalty expired that they capitalized as after some nice passing it was Cole Stevenson finding Guillaume St. Onge back-door who flipped it over a sprawled out Matt Pesent to give the home-side the extra point.
Hounds' G Riley Kohonick made 36 saves on 39 shots to earn the win while Matt Pesenit of Yorkton turned aside 27 shots in the loss.
The Terriers' will return to action on Friday night when they host the Kindersley Klippers at the Farrell Agencies Arena with puck-drop at 7:30.

Berkeliev leads Mils to road victory over Kindersley
The Melville Millionaires earned their 2nd win in the last 3 games on Friday night after a 3-2 victory over the Kindersley Klippers at the West Central Events Center.
The Mils would get on the board first as with 9 minutes left in the 1st it would be Dylan Thackeray taking a nice feed from Jake Spak right at the top of the right circle and he sniped it over the shoulder of Klippers' net minder Steven Bacovsky for his 5th of the season to give the road team a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes.
Shots after 1 period were 15-9 in favour of the Klippers.
Connor Nolan would add to the Mils lead early in the 2nd as just 1:50 in, his side-angle shot would squeak through the Klips goalie for his third to make it 2-0.
But the Klippers would respond just 3:07 later on the PP as 20 year old Tyler Traptow's point shot was deflected in front by Ethan Mack and past Berk Berkeliev for his 2nd to make it a 2-1 game.
Luke Nkwama regained though Melville's lead late in the 2nd with a short-hander marker, his team-leading 18th to put the Moneymen ahead 3-1 after 2 periods.
Klippers continued to lead the shot column 33-19 after 40 minutes. (18-11 KK in 2nd)
Kindersley would cut their deficit within one once again just over two minutes into the 3rd as Liam Fraser's initial shot was stopped by Berkeliev but then Scott McKenzie banged home the rebound for his 11th to make it 3-2 Mils but thats as close as they would get.
Berk Berkeliev stood tall once again making 53 saves on 55 stops to earn his 11th win of the season while Klippers' G Steven Bacovsky turned aside 24 shots in loss.

Mils' late lead slips away in home ice loss to Flin Flon
SJHL
The Melville Millionaires couldn't make it two straight wins on Wednesday as they fell 5-3 to the visiting Flin Flon Bombers at the Horizon Credit Union Center.
The Mils struck first in the 1st period as while on the PP a long point shot from Blake Campbell got re-directed in by Rin Beny for his 8th of the season to give the home team an early lead after 1 period.
In the 2nd, the Bombers would respond with two goals of their own. First Cole Rafuse potted his team-leading 34th of the season on a nifty feed from Tristan Lemyre before Mason Kaspick banged home his 5th to give the visitors their first lead at 2-1.
But the Mils knotted it up late in the second as Captain Aidan Steinke's long shot hand-cuffed Jaocb Delorme to make it a 2-2 game after 40 minutes.
In the 3rd, it would stay tied until the Mils powerplay struck yet again as after a long point shot from Dylan Thackeray got stopped, Zach McIntyre was there to bang home the rebound for his 15th of the season to give the Mils a 3-2 lead.
But after a scrum around the net, it was determined that the Mils' knocked off the net intentionally and with it happening in the final two minutes of the game that means a penalty shot & Alec Malo made no mistake beating Berk Berkeliev five-hole for his 20th to tie it up at 3's.
Then with just 31 seconds left in regulation, Tanner Brown got dumped behind the net by Cole Rafuse away from the puck, and the 20 year old Mils defenceman would then get up and block a Alec Malo shot in his face area, and around the eye & while he was down on the ice, Malo stick-handled a bit then fed Cole Rafuse back-door for his 2nd of the evening giving the Bombers the late lead.
Former Millionaire Zach Bannister would add an empty-netter late to seal the victory.
Jacob Delorme turned aside 16 of 19 shots in the win for Flin Flon while Berk Berkeliev made 41 saves in the loss for the Mils.
The Mils will return to action on Friday night when they visit the Kindersley Klippers. GX94 will broadcast the game, starting with the "Sask Milk" pregame at 7:20 and the play by play gets underway at 7:30 from the West Central Events Center.

Regina's Dunstone captures 2020 Sasktel Tankard in Melville
Regina's Matt Dunstone will wear the green and white of Team Saskatchewan at this year's Tim Hortons Brier.
Dunstone and his rink of Braeden Moskowy, Catlin Schneider and Dustin Kidby doubled up Saskatoon's Kirk Muyres 4-2 in the Championship final on Sunday of the 2020 Sasktel Tankard Provincial Men's Curling Championships in Melville.
The defending champions from Saskatoon got on the board first as Kirk Muyres made a nice draw to the full four-foot to make it 1-0 after 1
After a couple of blank ends Matt Dunstone who beat Langenburg’s Kody Hartung 5-4 in the Semi-Finals earlier in the day, got the first deuce to give himself a 2-1 advantage through 4 ends.
Muyres was able to even it up as facing two, he made a beauty draw to grab a piece of the button making a 2-2 game after 6 ends.
The seventh and eighth ends were also blanked, before Dunstone made nice quiet hit on a Muyres stone in the four-foot for his two to make it 4-2 heading to the 10th.
In the 10th, with Muyres needed two to tie, Dunstone and his foursome ran them out of rocks to earn the win.
Dunstone will now represent Saskatchewan at this year's National Men's Curling Championships that runs February 29th to March 8th, 2020 in Kingston, Ontario.
