YORKTON - It has been wins aplenty for the Yorkton Terriers to start the SJHL season.

A powerplay effort by Aiden Knutson knotted the game at 16:16. The 1-1 score held until the second period.
In the middle stanza the game tilted toward the Terriers. Carter Briltz scored at the five-minute mark, and Dustin Renas added a powerplay goal at 19:50 to give the home side a 3-1 lead through 40-minutes of play.
Dayton Tailfeathers drew the Klippers within one with a goal at 12:41 to open the ledger in the third.
But the Terriers would add two for a 5-2 win with Thomas Ries finding the twine at 16:49, and Jaron Desnoyers putting one in an empty net at 18:55.
Callum Craig grabbed the win in the Terrier net facing 22-shots.
Brett O’Halloran took the loss for the Klippers facing 23-shots.
