The Portage Terriers’ offence came alive last night as they beat the Winnipeg Freeze 8-0 at the Hockey For All Centre in Winnipeg.

Chances came early and often for Portage as they outshot the Freeze 16-5 in the first period. Winnipeg goalie Braxton Burdeny played well and only let in one goal from Nolan Nenow. 1-0 Portage after 1.

The play opened up in the second period with three straight goals for the Terriers. Two from Cam Bullinger and one from Koy Funk. For Funk it was the first of his junior career. 4-0 Portage after 2.

Hockey runs in the family for Koy Funk, who has taken to the ice four times as a member of the Portage Terriers this season. Funk hails from Portage la Prairie and is following in the footsteps of his older brother, Reilly, and father, Kelly. Koy says that it's been nice to see the community standing behind him.
