The Yorkton Terriers met their Highway 10 rivals the Melville Millionaires at the Farrell Agencies arena on Oct. 5. The contest saw the Yorkton team rise to the occasion.
Scoring kicked off in the first thanks to Chantz Petruic, assisted by Alec Zawatsky and Vaughn Wilgosh, setting the tone for the evening.
But it wasn’t until the second where the Terriers really got moving. Petruic opened the scoring again, with Zawatsky on the assist, this time with Brett LeGrandeur. Melville answered with a goal of their own to stay in the game, Booker Chacalias assisted by Max McPeak. Then the Terriers’ LeGrandeur pulled the home squad further ahead, helped by Jordan Guiney and Jordan Mis. The Terriers solidified their lead with a goal from Carson Henry assisted by Mis and Ryan Ries.
Under a minute into the third Melville wasn’t completely out of it yet, with Luke Nkwama opening the period with a goal, assisted by Luke Spadafora and Jonathan Krahn. But it wasn’t enough to get back in the game, and it ended as it began, with the duo of Petruic and Zawatsky, along with Ethan Robinson. Petruic got the hat trick and was the star of the game.
Philippe Bond got the win for the terriers with 39 saves. Hunter Adams got the loss for Melville.
Next action for the Terriers will be Oct. 9, when Notre Dame comes to town.
