The nine graduating members of the Yorkton Terriers have a unique gift to remember the 2018-19 Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League season with the team.
Bryce Sherring of Sherring Gold in Yorkton, working with the Terrier organization created a dog tag for the graduates.
鈥淚t was an idea I came up with a number of years ago,鈥� said Sherring, adding they were originally made for the 鈥榮eventh man鈥� promotion going to a young player who joined the Terriers before each home game.
This year the idea grew to focus on the graduates.
鈥淲hat works better than a dog tag for the Terriers?鈥� asked Sherring.
With the recipient changing to graduating player a redesign of the tag was needed.
The tag is now in the design of a hockey ice surface with 鈥楾errier for life鈥� along the bluelines, the team logo at centre ice, and the player鈥檚 name on the reverse side.
Terrier head coach Mat Hehr said the idea is a special one for players.
鈥淚 think it鈥檚 pretty special, especially a dog tag for the Terriers. I think it鈥檚 pretty neat,鈥� he said.
