The Yorkton Hyundai Terriers put on a solid game Friday night, finishing up with final score of 4-3 against the the Weyburn Red Wings. The first period saw a considerable amount of coverage from both teams on the ice, but by the end of the period, neither team managed to score any goals. That deadlock would be broken 15 seconds into the second period, when Weyburn scored courtesy of Rhett Frey, assisted by Daytona Houle and Graham Skinner.

It was Yorkton's turn to tie things up just under three and a half minutes later, when Kaeden Taphorn got one in the net, assisted by Jordan Mis and star scorer Chantz Petruic. The Terriers continued their lead as Alec Zawatzsky scored another goal a little over 8 minutes in second.

Frustrations were high at this particular game. Weyburn's temper got the best of them as Liam Rutten was given a 5 minor major penalty for fighting, and then a 10 minute penalty for misconduct. Yorkton shared in the penalties: Petruic received a 2 minute penalty for instigating, while also receiving a 5 minute major and 10 minute misconduct.

Weyburn ended up closing the gap not too long after as Nikolas Sombrowski plowed the puck into Yorkton's net. The back and forth would continue into the third period, as Ryan Granville scored for the Terriers. Weyburn's Mathieu Belanger scored almost halfway through the third, but it wasn't quite enough to turn things around. Yorkton earned a solid win.

The Terriers face off against Weyburn once again Monday night at 7:30.
