The final night of the SJHL season prior to the holiday break was an entertaining one with a total of five games on the ice.

Yorkton 2 Weyburn 4

The Weyburn Red Wings returned home and gave their fans something to cheer about as they doubled up their division rival. Tyler Teasdale netted the game winner with 3:37 left in the 3rd to vault the Wings to their 12th win of the season and into a tie for 7th in the SJHL standings.

Notre Dame 2 Humboldt 5 

After dropping a 5-4 decision at home to the Weyburn Red Wings, the Humboldt Broncos bounced back in a big way Saturday with a 5-2 win over Notre Dame. Travis Bryson led the way for the Broncos netting a pair in the win and bringing his goal total to 15 on the season. The victory was Humboldt’s 20th of the campaign.

Melfort 4 Nipawin 1 

The Melfort Mustangs bounced back in the return matchup against the Nipawin Hawks Saturday, earning a 4-1 win on the road to improve to 22-9-3-0 on the season. The Mustangs had four different goal scorers in the win and newcomer Clay Sleeva set up a pair as the Mustangs secured two points.

Kindersley 2 Battlefords 5

Battlefords extended their point streak to eight Saturday at home with a 5-2 win over the Kindersley Klippers as they completed the weekend sweep. Kian Bell put on a show at the ACC in the final home game before the holidays, netting a hat-trick and adding two assists in the victory. He is now tied with Justin Lies at the top of the SJHL scoring race going into the break.

La Ronge 0 Flin Flon 4 

Kenneth Marquart made 24 saves and the Flin Flon Bombers sent the hometown fans home happy with a 4-0 win over the La Ronge Ice Wolves. It was a balanced attack Saturday at home for the Bombers with four different goal scorers, and they enter the holiday break at the top of the SJHL standings with an impressive 28-1-2-0 record.

 

The league will now be off until December 30th when the Yorkton Terriers host the Melville Millionaires as part of their holiday home and home.
