The Portage Terriers capped off their 2011 season as the West representative at the RBC Cup - National Junior Championships.
Jason Kasdorf helped the Terriers to their only win at the RBC Cup. Kasdorf shut down the Eastern representative, and eventual RBC National Champions - the Pembroke Lumbar Kings - with 29 saves, and was awarded with the Player of the Game.
Previous to the tournament, Portage competed against the SJHL champion, the La Ronge Ice Wolves, in a best of seven battle of the ages. The 4-0 win in the seventh game of the Anavet Cup interprovincial junior hockey championship was in front of a crowd of 1,805 in the PCU Arena. Backed by goaltender Jason Kasdorf's 19-save shutout, the Terriers won the best-of-seven series 4-3.
Before the Anavet Cup, Manitoba's Terriers triumphed over the Selkirk Steelers with a 4 games to 1 series win to take the MJHL Turnbull Championship.
Through a long and treacherous season, the Terriers were a strong force within the Canadian Hockey Junior League as they represented Manitoba and the West Region with pride, teamwork, and a relentless commitment to success.
