Kasdorf Pushes Himself to Perfection: Terriers Up 3-2 in Semi's


By his own admission, Portage Terriers’ netminder Jason Kasdorf wasn’t happy with his outing which resulted in a loss to Dauphin Kings.

With two consecutive wins ─ the most recent a 6-0 victory ─ Kasdorf has rebounded nicely. He’s hoping his A-Game continues Tuesday in Dauphin when the two clubs resume their Sher-Wood Division final which Terriers now lead 3-2.

“Dauphin is a very patient team,” says Kasdorf. “They really don’t waste a lot of shots…they like to take high-quality shots. It’s been a great series against them.”

The second-year Terrier netminder admits that he has enjoyed almost every minute of this year’s playoff run.

“I really like the intensity,” he says with a laugh. “The games have been tight, and excellent hockey for the fans. It’s been fun watching from my viewpoint.

“Yes, it’s intense….but it’s also a lot of fun.”

Kasdorf’s stats have also been impressive thus far. He’s allowed only 18 goals in 490 minutes played, with a 2.20 GAA and .921 save percentage. His record coming into Tuesday’s game is 6-2.

Kasdorf, a graduate of the Winnipeg Thrasher program, will be taking his game to the college level after he leaves junior. He recently committed to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

“At this stage of the season a person can’t look too far ahead,” he says. “Right now you should be focusing on one game at time.”

That game goes Tuesday in Dauphin.
