YORKTON, SK: The 7-2 Yorkton Terriers will arguably face their stiffest test tonight.

Tonight, the Battle of Highway 10 rivalry gets ignited at Westland Insurance Arena as the Terriers and the Melville Millionaires play the first home-and-home of the season.

The Terriers are coming off a stingy 3-0 road victory Wednesday night in Estevan, in which rookie goaltender Callum Creig earned his first SJHL Shutout.

It’s no secret that these two teams do not like each other. They have already had spirited battles dating back to the preseason.

Player to Watch:
In Estevan, Keenan Ingram continued his hot stretch of play with a pair of goals against the Bruins. He has four goals in four games in a Terrier uniform and has been an excellent addition to the powerplay.

A Look At The Opposition:
The Mills come into tonight one point back of the Terriers in the Viterra Division with a 6-2-1 record.

They recently went through a tough stretch, losing 6-2 on home ice to the Red Wings and 4-1 to La Ronge on the road. They did bounce back the following night with a convincing 5-0 win over the Ice Wolves.

This season for the Moneymen, it’s been the Caden Drury show as he leads the SJHL in points with 19 in 9 games.

Puck drop is set for 7:00 PM from Westland Arena. LETS PACK THE GALLAGHER CENTRE!!!!
