Up next

The Terriers host Melfort at the Farrell Agencies Arena Tuesday, with LaRonge visiting Friday.

At Friday’s game the Yorkton Terriers will partner with Brayden Ottenbreit Close Cuts for Cancer hosting a special fundraising night. Each player has purchased their jersey and will wear the special jerseys, but instead of their own name on the back, it will show the name of a person each player is playing for that night. One hundred per cent of the jersey proceeds as well as $3 from each walk up ticket sold that night will be donated to Close Cuts for Cancer.
