The Harvest will play the Saskatoon Contacts in the first round of the playoffs but the scheduled hasn't been made up yet.
The teams were decided late over the weekend and Graham Garrett, head coach of the Harvest sees it as a good opportunity for the team to move forward, his second season as team coach.
"It's a great opportunity...all it takes is a couple guys," he said following his team's last game of the regular season against the Notre Dame Argos.
The Harvest lost both games of the final weekend homestand but all focus now is on the season that matters most-the post season.
Garrett said he is looking forward to the start, which should be later this week.
"We have had some good games with them this season."
The opening round, which is scheduled to start later this week, will be a best-of-five round, the first team to three wins advances, and the team seems to like their chances.
"We've had their number all season," says Dustin Skilliter, Harvest captain.
"We might have some different systems in place, but we're definitely excited." Yorkton lost both games of the weekend matchup with the Notre Dame Argos.
Skilliter says nobody is thinking about that now that they know their opponent for the first round.The Harvest lost a close game Saturday, 4-3, and then gave up two more goals Sunday in a 6-3 loss."Well, we wanted to win," said Skilliter following Sunday's loss, but added that the playoff round is another whole "new season".
On Sunday, the Argos held a six-shot advantage in shots on goal and went 3-5 on the power play. Notre Dame also scored four times in the second period.
After a scoreless opening frame, Notre Dame got going on goals by Stephen Hiff and Jack Rodewald.The homeside got back into it when rookie forwards Rylan Badduke and Ryley Stefanyshyn tallied in the latter half of the period to tie it at 2-2.
But before the end of the period, the Argos restored their lead when Luke Simpson and Tait Seguin tallied to up their lead to 4-2.
Seguin would add another in the third and James Dombowsky would add another before Yorkton's Levi Cable scored on the power play to round out the scoring in a 6-3 loss.
The night before (Saturday) saw the teams trade goals back and forth all night long.
Notre Dame would once again open the scoring when Logan Saworski tallied 13:21 of the first period; it stood as the lone goal of the first period.
Yorkton got going halfway through the second period when Kailum Gervais scored at the 9:50 mark, unassisted to tie the game at 1-1.
Notre Dame took a 2-1 lead less then a minute later before Skilliter scored on the power play at 4:53 to tie the game at 2-2. The Argos got the lead back with 49 seconds left to take a 3-2 lead to the dressing room.
Yorkton's Cable would score 1:30 into the third period but the Argos would get the game winner at 8:38 of the period to seal a 4-3 win.
Both teams scored once on the power play. The teams were even at 34 shots on goal
