YORKTON - The Yorkton Terriers, who have missed the mark to be in this year’s SJHL playoffs, played their final regular season game.

The middle frame was one for special teams.

The Terriers pulled ahead with two powerplay goals, Tate Schofer scoring with the man advantage at 9:05, and Tyson Perkins at 14:23.

A short-handed effort by Melville’s Hudson Norris sent the teams to the dressing room tied 2-2 after 40-minutes of play.

In the third Perkins gave the Terriers the lead 1:36, with his second of the contest.

A short-handed effort by Keen, his second of the afternoon, at 5:24 tied the games 3-3.

The tie held through regulation time, sending the game to overtime, where no one scored.

Melville finally secured the win in the shoot-out to record a 4-3 win.

Ethan Rau was in net for the Millionaires facing 29-shots in the win.

Ethan Farrow took the loss in the Terrier net facing 25 shots.

The Terriers finish the season with a record of 21-30-2-3 for 47 points, last in the SJHL Viterra Division, and 10th overall in the 12-team league.

Melville finishes atop the Viterra with 65 points, fifth overall in the SJHL.
