The Yorkton DQ Grill and Chill Pee Wee A Terriers are headed to the provincial finals against Warman.
The Terriers earned the finals berth by knocking out the Swift Current 聽Pee Wee A Broncos Sunday.
However, game one of the two-game total goal series was held March 11, in Swift Current, with Yorkton returning with a 4-1 win.
The Terriers had two goals from Mathew Herzog and singles by Joey Zarowny and Nikolas Gordon.
Game two at the Farrell Agencies Arena saw Yorkton win 4-2, for a two-game margin of 8-3.
The Terriers had two goals from Gordon and singkes from Herzog and Zarowny.
鈥淲e鈥檝e got a really balanced team,鈥� said Yorkton coach Jason Gordon. 鈥淚t really showed in how we played the 120-minute game.鈥�
Gordon said that was a key, focusing not on each game as individual efforts, but as a two-game set.
The win Sunday was especially satisfying, said Gordon, because the team stayed focus in unfamiliar surroundings.
鈥淭here was comfort, fear and passion,鈥� he said, noting his young players typically go to the Farrell Agencies Arena to watch their local heroes play, not play a big game in front of a good-sized crowd for a Pee Wee game.
Game one of the two-game total goal final will be at the Farrell Agencies Arena Saturday, March 24 at 7:30 p.m., with game two in Warman.聽
