YORKTON - The Yorkton Terriers needed points to avoid Humboldt, one of the top two teams in the league, in the opening round of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League.

But after the first period Saturday at the Westland Insurance Arena they trailed Notre Dame 1-0 after the Hounds Will Dawson scored with only 18 seconds left in the frame.

The Terriers started fast in the second period as Clay Sleeva at 2:23, Tanner Sklaruk at 7:27, and Tyson Janzen scored to give the home side a 3-1 lead.

Kevin Anderson cut the lead to one as he scored for Notre Dame at 13:23 making it a 3-2 contest.

Twenty-two seconds after the Hounds scored Sklaruk notched his second of the night to make it 4-2 for the Terriers.

The two-goal lead held until 19:14 in the third period when Zach McIntyre added an empty net goal to round out a 5-2 Terrier win.

Kael DePape was in net for Yorkton facing 24 shots and earning the win, while Austin Elliott guarded the twine for Notre Dame facing 44 shots in the loss.

The Terriers wrap-up the SJHL regular season Sunday hosting Weyburn in a game postponed from Thursday.
