Portage Terriers

The Portage Terriers will take a trek down Highway 3 today for their final game of 2022. The Dogs will be taking on the Winkler Flyers tonight and will be looking for some redemption after a rough outing the last time they visited the Centennial Arena.

The Dogs were downed 8-5 less than two weeks ago in Winkler and gave up five straight goals in the first period. Portage outscored the Flyers 5-3 the rest of the way (The final Winkler goal coming against an empty net) but that wasn't enough to come all the way back.

You may be wondering where one of the most prominent Portage Terriers has been for the last few weeks. 

Assistant captain Daniel Siso had shoulder surgery in the offseason after tearing his labrum, and he is now dealing with the aftermath. Siso has been out of the lineup since November 22 and says he's most likely looking at a return to the ice in the new year.

Last year's leading-scorer for the Terriers notes the situation is far from ideal.

The Portage Terriers are riding home on a high note. The Dogs defeated the top-seeded Steinbach Pistons 4-2 on the road tonight.

The Terriers opened the scoring midway through the first period. Matt Wisener brought the puck in the offensive zone along the boards and made a centring pass for Kaden Kohle in tight, who made no mistake about it.

The Portage Terriers' final home game of 2022 is being postponed. The Dogs were set to welcome the Winnipeg Freeze to Stride Place tonight but that game will now take place at a later date. The cancelation is due to poor road conditions.
