TERRIERS REPEAT: CANALTA CUP CHAMPIONS

04/16/2014

By Craig Stein


For a second straight season, and fourth in the last ten years, the Yorkton Terriers are SJHL Canalta Cup Champions.

The Terriers finished off a series sweep of the Melville Millionaires with a 4-0 decision on Wednesday night to take the crown.

It was a scoreless tie late in the second period until Kailum Gervais was sprung on a breakaway for the Terriers, and Melville goalie Isaiah Plett stumbled, Gervais opened the scoring, and Plett left the game.  Dylan Baer scored shortly after to make it 2-0 Terriers through two periods.  Tyler Giebel and Brett Boehm put it out of reach in the third.

Terrier Defenseman Chase Norrish was named SJHL Playoffs MVP, finishing with 15 points (7g-8a) in 14 post season games.

Kale Thomson made 22 saves for the shutout, and gave up just three goals in four games during the final, finishing the series with a 4-0 record, 0.68 GAA, and a saver percentage of .972%, to go along with the shutout in Game 4.

The Terriers advance to the Western Canada Cup in Dauphin, MB, starting April 26th.  They'll face the MJHL Champion Winnipeg Blues that afternoon to kick off the event.  The top two finishers in Dauphin move on to the RBC Cup in Vernon, BC.
