Terriers MJ Champs - Head to Anavet Cup


For the third time in four seasons, the Portage Terriers are Manitoba Junior Hockey League champions.

Portage wins the best-of-seven MJHL championship series 4-1.

Riding momentum in the series thanks to three straight wins prior to Saturday, the Terriers rode that emotion and the energy of a sold-out crowd right off the bat by scoring two shell shocking goals in the first minute frame. The Terriers scored 18 seconds and then 45 seconds into the game to hold a two goal lead after the first period. Entering the second they potted a third goal just under five minutes in. With a 4-2 lead heading into the third, the game slowly raveled down to the Terriers claiming Manitoba's Junior Championship.

Portage now moves on to the ANAVET Cup, where they’ll face the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League champion. La Ronge leads that best-of-seven series 3-2 over the Yorkton Terriers, with Game 6 scheduled to go Sunday night.
