The Yorkton Terriers had a good home outing Saturday dropping the visiting Melville Millionaires by a 5-2 score.
Terrier head coach Mat Hehr said the latest edition of the team is finally starting to mold into form.
“It’s taken a few games to find out what roles guys were going to fill,” he said, adding that was both from the perspective of the coaching staff, and from the players themselves.
While the offence has been clicking of late, Hehr said he is most pleased by the team defence.
“We’ve allowed only two goals in each of the last three games,” he said. “Any time you do that you have a chance to win.
Conversely when a team is potting five or six goals the chances of winning are greatly increased, said Hehr.
So what has both sides of the Terriers clicking of late?
“We’re playing pretty simple hockey,” said Hehr, adding the team is working hard on doing the little things right.
To keep the team focused, Hehr said they aren’t looking too far down the schedule at any time.
“We break it down to seven-game stints focusing on winning four out of seven games,” he said.
