YORKTON - The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League – at least some teams – is back in action after the league’s Christmas break.

And for the local Yorkton Terriers and rival Melville Millionaires that meant another home-and-home set starting tonight at the Westland Insurance Arena.

In the opening frame the visiting Mills scored the only goal, a powerplay marker by Colby Ball at 12:20.

It took the Terriers only 2:42 into the middle frame to tie the game on a goal by Maddux Nollski.

A short-handed effort by JD Hall at 11:59 gave the Terriers a 2-1 lead.

Brayden Taschuk tied the contest 2-2 with a goal at 16:50.

The tie held into the third period, and through it.

With the game knotted 2-2 through regulation time, the game headed to the five-minute overtime, but neither team found the twine to secure the win.

The game went to the shoot-out where the Millionaires would earn a 3-2 win.

The teams are scheduled to meet again New Year’s Day in Melville.

While the Terriers and Millionaires are back in action COVID-19 again postponed a series of games over the weekend.

The home and home series scheduled for Dec. 31 and Jan. 1 between the Flin Flon  Bombers and the La Ronge Ice Wolves as well the home and home scheduled for Dec. 30 and Jan. 1 between the Estevan Bruins and Weyburn Red Wings have been postponed until a later date, as a result of some players perhaps being in close contact with positive COVID-19 cases. As a precautionary measure the postponements will provide more time for extra testing to ensure the safety and health of everyone.

New dates have yet to be determined.
