Terriers lose their first in overtime to Brooks

In a very entertaining hockey game between 2 very good teams, and despite the very good effort from the Yorkton Terriers the result wasn't what they wanted as they fell 2-1 in overtime to the Alberta Junior Hockey League champion Brooks Bandits.

The Bandits came out with a bang in the first period as they out shot and out played the Terriers and would come out with the lone goal of the first as RJ Reed would rip a wrist shot and go bar down on Dawson McAuley for his 3rd goal of the tournament to give the Bandits an early 1-0 lead.

The Teams would exchange chances both ways in the middle frame but as the period would go on , the Terriers would turn the tides on Brooks taking control of most of the middle frame but just couldn't get anything by Bandits goalie Michael Fredrik leaving Brooks with a 1 goal lead.

The third period would begin with the Terriers getting into some penalty trouble that would continue throughout the period but the Terriers would do a good job of penalty killing all afternoon long. Yorkton would then be credited for the strong effort Shorthanded with the tying goal with just under 5 minutes to go in regulation when Nathan Murray would pounce on a loose puck for his 1st to even it up at 1 after regulation time.

The overtime would bring chances to both sides, which included a goal by the Brooks Bandits disallowed because of an offside call. But would end on a scramble play when Shane Pilling would coral the loose puck and put it low glove on McAuley to give the Bandits a 2-1 OT victory.

Dawson McAuley was very good in the Terriers net stopping 40 of 42 shots while Bandits goalie Michael Fredrick made 33 saves for the win.

Terriers remain undefeated with win over Steinbach

The Yorkton Terriers remained undefeated with a 3-2 victory over the Steinbach Pistons.

The Terriers would open the scoring once again when Jeremy Johnson would get his 3rd of the tournament  to give the Terriers a 1-0 lead. They would get a 2 goal lead when Chase Norrish would go top shelf on Corey Koop off a nice feed by John Odgers to make it 2-0 Terriers. But before the end of the 1st Steinbach would tie it up when Hayden Goderis would get his 1st of the tournament to make 2-1 Terriers after 1.

The Pistons would even it up at 2 when Trent Genyk would slip it five hole on Dawson McAuley for his 1st of the tournament.. But before the end if the 2nd Tyler Giebel would capitalize on a Piston turnover and make a nice move around Koop for the eventual game winner as the 3rd period went scoreless and the Terriers would end up prevailing 3-2.

Dawson McAuley stopped 32 shots for the victory while Corey Koop would stop 36 shots in a losing cause.

Terriers come from behind to win opener over Nanaimo

The Yorkton Terriers got out to an early lead and then had to come from behind to beat the host Nanaimo Clippers 4-3 in their opener of the Western Canada Cup.
Jeremy Johnson would open the scoring for the Terriers in the first period finishing off a nice passing play to give the Terriers a 1-0 lead. But just a few minutes later, former PG Cougar and 4 year  WHL vet Greg Fraser would even up the hockey game at 1-1. But the Terriers would then regain their 1 goal lead as Taylor Thompson would get his 1st goal of the tournament to make it a 2-1 Terriers advantage. Matt Grant thought would tie it up this time at 2 with his 1st to make it all square after 1 period.

There would be back and forth chances in the 2nd period but the lone goal would go to the Clippers as Colton Dahlen's wrist shot from the point would beat a screened Dawson McAuley to give Nanaimo a 3-2 lead after 40 minutes of play.

In the final frame was the best period for the Terriers in the game as they would get 2 goals as first it would be Jeremy Johnson getting his 2nd of the night after capitalizing on a Nanaimo turnover to make it 3-all. Then just a few minutes later, the Terriers would get the winner from a familiar force as captain Devon McMullen would get the winner to give the Terriers a 4-3 victory.

The two top teams In the Sherwood and North Divisions will do battle in the Canalta Cup Final as the Yorkton Terriers will take on the Humboldt Broncos and itll be the 9th straight year that eithet the Terriers or Broncos will appear in the SJHL Final. The Terriers have been led by their depth as on any given night a particular line or player could step up in any given game. Both teams also boast excellent goaltenders as 18 year old Dawson McAuley has been everything that the Terriers would have wanted from a number 1 goaltender as he has been outstanding between the pipes especially in the series clincer against the Melville Millionaires. While the Broncos goaltender is no slouch as wel as it is the SJHL's Top Goalie for this year in 20 year old Matt Hrynkiw, so goaltending could go a huge part in which direction this series will go for either.

On the backend, the Terriers boast one of the top D cores in the league, and have been led by 19 year old Brady Norrish who likes to jump up in the play all the time and has 5 goals so far in the playoffs, while brother Chase, and Devon McMullen also like to jump in the offensive rushes while veterans Austin Bourhis and John Niebrandt both have WHL experience with Neibrandt having won WHL Championship with the Kootenay Ice. On the other side, the Humboldt Broncos have been led by Logan Sproule who is one of the highest scorers in the playoffs so far with 11 points.

Up front, the Terriers have been led by an abundance of players as a lot of different players have stepped up in big games. But there has been a couple that have stood out in particular as leading goal scorer Patrick Martens, a 20 year old SJHL Rookie who has 8 goals in the playoffs should return back to the line up for Game 1, and also local product Jeremy Johnson has been absolutely superb in his final season of Junior Hockey.

This should be another classic league final in the SJHL, with two very good hockey teams going at it and also Co Coaches of the Year in Yorkton's Trent Cassan & Humboldt's Dean Brockman manning both benches in what should definitely a long and grueling series with a berth to the inaugural Western Canada Cup in Nanimo, British Columbia on the line. Lets Drop the Puck.
