Terriers, Stampeders & Wolverines all winners in Wednesday SJHL/MJHL Recap


The Yorkton Terriers won their 3rd straight game in convincing fashion on Wednesday night, hammering the La Ronge Ice Wolves 9-3 at the Farrell Agencies Arena.

The Terriers would be the only team to get on the board in the 1st, as the puck would squirt out for Quin Hobbs who would go out on a clear-cut breakaway and he would make no mistake going top shelf for his 11th of the season to give his team a 1-0 lead after 1 period.

Mason Mullaney (pictured above) would add to the Terriers lead just 1:41 into the 2nd, as he would take a nifty feed in front from Colby Brandt and slip it through the five-hole of Jordan Frey for his 8th to make it 2-0. Then 9:32 into the middle frame, it was a partial break and would go short-side shelf for his 29th of the year to make it a 3 goal game. Mullaney and Petruic would add their second goals of the period, their 9th and 30th goals respectively to give the home team a 5-0 lead after 40 minutes.

In the 3rd period, the Ice Wolves would get on the board, 2:33 in as Stewart Pond would walk out and beat Andrew Henderson over the left board for his 4th of the campaign to make it 5-1. But the Terriers would respond with 3 quick goals of their own from Brendan Mark, Quin Hobbs and Mason Mullaney who completed his 1st SJHL Hat-Trick at the 10:25 mark of the 3rd period and the game sat at 8-1 Yorkton. Also later in the 3rd, Chantz Petruic would complete his Hat-Trick and net his 31st of the season while Zack Bannister and Jake Gudjonson would wrap up the scoring with a couple more for the Ice Wolves to make it a 6 goal Terrier win.

Andrew Henderson turned aside 34 shots in the Terriers' goal to earn his 10th vicotry of the season while the Ice Wolves had both of their goaltenders make appearances in the game. Jordan Frey played the first two periods and was relieved after allowing 5 goals on 29 shots while Brendan Benoit in relief turned aside 9 of 13 shots.

The Terriers will have the night off today (Thurs) before embarking on two-game weekend road trip this weekend, on Friday in Flin Flon before tangling with the Nipawin Hawks on Saturday night.
