After a long Western Canada Cup run for the Yorkton Terriers it might not seem like the offseason has been going on for long, but the 2013/14 SJHL schedule was finally announced and the Terriers Canalta Cup defense starts in less than three months as the Terriers open up their season with a home and away series with the Weyburn Red Wings.
After opening their season on the road on September 20, the Terriers will host the Red Wings at Farrell Agencies Arena on September 21 in the first of four straight home games to open the SJHL season closing with a game against the Estevan Bruins on September 28.
The first game of the Highway 10 Battle between the Terriers and the Melville Millionaires will be October 11 when the Terriers host the Millionaires in a Sherwood Conference Final rematch.
The Terriers will close the pre-holiday portion of the SJHL regular season December 17 against the Notre Dame Hounds before picking things up again on December 30 in Melville in the first game of their New Years series with the Millionaires to ring in 2014.
Yorkton will host the second game on New Years Day at 2:00 p.m. in a matinee event.
Yorkton's longest road trip will be from October 20 to November 10 when the Terriers make their northern swing away from the Farrell Agencies Arena.
The Terriers will open the road trip October 22 in Humboldt before closing the seven game road trip with two games in La Ronge on November 7/8 before returning for home action on November 10 against the Klippers at a 6:00 p.m. start.
As SJHL champions the Terriers will be taking part in the SJHL Hall of Fame game, taking on the Notre Dame Hounds on February 1.
Yorkton's final home game will be on February 26 against Notre Dame.
