Portage Terriers

In 2019, the Terriers ended Battlefords playoff run in the Anavet cup on their ice. Now, only four years later, the Stars got to return the favour.

The Portage Terriers’ season came to an end last night and with it, a chance for a third national championship.

The Battlefords North Stars dominated the Terriers from start to finish in the semi final, winning 7-1.

The Portage Terriers are moving on to the Centennial Cup's semi-finals. 

The Dogs defeated the Yarmouth Mariners 2-1 in the quarterfinals tonight and are one of just four teams left in the tournament.

The Terriers struck first in the opening frame. Daniel Siso received the puck at the top of the faceoff circle on the power-play. He took a couple of strides toward the net, faked a shot and made a pass to the doorstep. The puck went right to Brock MacDonald, who made sure to capitalize.

During the Centennial Cup tournament this week in Portage la Prairie, one of the teams competing -- the Collingwood Blues from Ontario -- happened to notice some needs in our community and helped out. Salvation Army's Brenda Hammond says the food bank received some much-need help as a result.

The Portage Terriers ended the preliminary round of the Centennial Cup with a bang. The Dogs handed the Collingwood Blues their first loss of the tournament tonight, coming away with a 4-3 victory.

Portage's offence went to work early. Just over a minute into the game, on the power-play, Austin Peters carried the puck from end-to-end along the boards. As he reached the corner, he made a shot pass to his side for Ryan Botterill, who made no mistake.

Many Portage Terrier fans were quite surprised when they saw Rory Neill put home back-to-back goals in their opening game of the Centennial Cup. 

Neill had played only one game with the Terriers this season and only five total games with the squad over the last three years. However, in just two games at the Centennial Cup tournament, the 19-year-old has three goals and three assists.

It was utter dominance for the Portage Terriers tonight. The Dogs broke the Centennial Cup record for goals in a game as they demolished the Kam River Fighting Walleye 12-2.

The Terriers opened the scoring midway through the first. Bryden Kiesman deked around multiple defenders to create space at the side of the net. He circled the net and made a centring pass for Parker Scherr to tap in.

The Portage Terriers are feeling validated after defeating the MJHL Champions in their Centennial Cup opener. Portage came away with a 4-2 victory over the Steinbach Pistons tonight.

The Terriers came out of the gate with guns blazing. It took the MJHL's leading-scorer Ryan Botterill less than five minutes to get his first goal of the tournament. He got the puck just above the faceoff dot on the rush and made no mistake.

After eight months of preparation, the Portage Terriers are ready to make their Centennial Cup debut.

The Dogs had the most time off of any team attending the Centennial Cup, due to being eliminated before the league finals. Team captain Kian Calder talks about how they've used this extended period.

The Portage Terriers are the host team for the 2023 National Junior "A" Hockey Championship that begins Thursday. Terriers head coach and general manager Blake Spiller will join Clayton Dreger on Sportsbeat which airs Wednesdays at 5:15 p.m. on CFAM Radio 950.

While the current iteration of the Terriers will be the main reason Portagers gather at Stride Place over the next two weeks, some former members of the squad will be recognized, as well. 

The 1973 Centennial Cup winning team will be honoured during the first intermission of the Terriers game tomorrow night. Captain of the 1973 squad, Grant Farncombe, is excited to reunite with his old teammates.
