From the drop of the puck to the final whistle, the Moose Jaw Warriors didn’t let up against the Victoria Royals on Wednesday night.

Moose Jaw skated to a 5-0 win over Victoria at the Moose Jaw Events Centre in the first game after the WHL Trade Deadline.

“It was a pretty complete game by us, we liked a lot of the details that we had out there,” Warriors assistant coach Curtis Pereverzoff said. “We knew that Victoria was coming in on a late night, so we wanted to jump on them early, we were able to do that and just kept our foot on the gas.”

Swift Current, SK — A massive comeback came up just short for the Moose Jaw Warriors on Saturday night.

Down 6-1 early in the third, the Warriors scored five straight goals to tie the game at 6-6 before falling to the Swift Current Broncos, 7-6, at the InnovationPlex.

“We put the pressure on them, you could see that they were right on their heels, but the problem is you can’t do that for 20 minutes, it’s got to be a 60-minute effort,” Warriors associate coach Scott King said.

The loss snaps a five-game winning streak for the Warriors.

Moose Jaw, SK — Jagger Firkus’ first game back in the Hangar since representing Canada at the 2024 IIHF World Junior Championship was a doozy.

Firkus finished with a goal and four points to help propel the Warriors to a 6-4 win over the Prince Albert Raiders on Friday night.

“It wasn’t the cleanest game by us, there was ups and downs throughout the whole game, but hockey is adversity and it’s good, it shows character that we stuck with it,” Firkus said after the win.

Prince Albert, SK — The Moose Jaw Warriors went to work for a hard fought road win in Prince Albert on Saturday night.

The Warriors scored two goals in the second period and skated to a 2-1 win over the Raiders at the Art Hauser Centre.

“It was a great road game for us, we did a pretty good job managing pucks and just trying to play a boring game, but capitalize on some of our chances and do a good job defensively and we did a pretty good job of that,” Warriors assistant coach Curtis Pereverzoff said.

Jagger Firkus has been recalled by Hockey Canada and will join Team Canada’s 25-man roster at the 2024 IIHF World Junior Championship in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Brandon, MB — When Dakota MacIntosh scored the Moose Jaw Warriors’ first goal of the night, he lifted the monkey off his back.
