Sports Update - Terriers know who they will meet in round 2 and more

The Portage Terriers will take on the Virden Oil Capitals in round two of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League playoffs. Kobe Grant made 25 saves as the Swan Valley Stampeders downed the Kings 4-1 in Dauphin and took that West Division semifinal in six games Tuesday night. With Swan Valley advancing, this means Virden is the lowest seed remaining in the hunt for the Turnbull Cup. Teams are reseeded in the second round of the playoffs so the top seeded Terriers draw Oil Caps for the league semi-final.

Sports Update - Tuesday, April 4th

Weather pending, the Winkler Flyers and Steinbach Pistons meet tonight (7:30 p.m.) at the T.G. Smith Centre in the deciding seventh game of their East Division semifinal. The winner will join the Portage Terriers and Virden Oil Capitals in round two of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League playoffs. The Flyers, who have rallied from a 3-1 series deficit to force game seven, have beaten the Pistons twice in Steinbach. The Terriers are scheduled to start the second round of the playoffs Friday night on home ice against either Virden or Dauphin.
