The Yorkton Secon Maulers got close, but not close enough, in their battle against the Tisdale Trojans on Dec. 10. The Yorkton SMAAAHL team almost recovered from a major deficit after the first period, but wasn’t able to win.
The first period began with Tisdale, with Keagon Little getting a powerplay goal, assisted by Cole Tanchuk and Noah Wills. Yorkton’s Carter Dereniwsky fired back with an unassisted goal, tying it at one.
Unfortunately for the Maulers, Tisdale then scored twice. First was Mackenzie Carson assisted by Trenton Curtis. Then Kalen Ukrainetz assisted by Nicholas Andrusiak and Trenton Curtis.
The second period saw the Trojans extend their lead, with a goal from Cole Tanchuk assisted by Noah Wills and Jordan Normand.
But after that, the Maulers responded. First with a goal from Connor Hvidston assisted by Blake Samida and Carter Dereniwsky, then a power play goal from Massen Ziola assisted by Connor Hvidston and Carter Dereniwsky to close out the period.
That got the Maulers back in the game, with one period of play left. Unfortunately, that also was the last goal of the game, and a blank third meant that the Maulers went home with a loss, with a score of 4-3 for Tisdale.
