Portage Terriers

The Portage Terriers have acquired F Zev Podolski (02) from the Toronto Jr. Canadiens (OJHL) in exchange for Future Considerations.

Podolski (6’0, 183lbs) had 30 points in 45 games last season with the Canadiens. The Toronto product added 10 points in 14 playoff games. Podolksi started this season with the El Paso Rhino’s of the NAHL and had four points in 11 games.

Terrier head coach and GM Blake Spiller looks forward to having him in the lineup. “Zev will bring skill and speed to our forward group.”

The Minot State Beavers men's hockey program is looking excellent once again and much of that success is due to contributions from some former Portage Terriers. 

The North Dakota university is home to forwards Carter Barley, Sheldin Howard, Jay Buchholz, Reece Henry, and Portage's own Joey Moffatt. The local forward is in his first season at the university level and says it's been a smooth transition.

Day two of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League Top Prospect Showcase is underway at Stride Place. The league selected its best talent from all 13 teams to be split into six squads for a two-day event in Portage. 

Portage Terrier defenceman Brandon McCartney says it's great to be able to put his talents on display in front of scouts from a plethora of different leagues.

Portage hockey fans have the opportunity to see the best MJHL players all under one roof over the next two days. The MJHL's Top Prospect Showcase kicked off today at Stride Place, where 120 players have been split up into six teams to take part in exhibition games in front of scouts. 

The Portage Terriers will not be on the ice this Sunday as initially planned. 

The Dogs were set to host the Virden Oil Capitals for their third matchup of the season on Sunday, November 20 but that game is being rescheduled. 

The makeup date for this contest is Wednesday, January 11 at 7:30.

It was a rare loss for the Portage Terriers Sunday night at Stride Place. The team was hoping to wrap up a successful weekend with a win over Swan Valley but the Stampeders spoiled the party with a hard-fought 6-4 victory.

The Portage Terriers bounced back in a Remembrance Day rematch with the Steinbach Pistons winning 2-1 Friday night. The Pistons wore commemorative Remembrance Day jerseys and had a moment of silence before puck drop. 

The Portage Terriers are in search of redemption tonight as they hit the road to Steinbach for a rematch with the Pistons.

Steinbach defeated Portage 6-1 on Sunday at Stride Place, and the Terriers are hoping to snatch that win back. Defenceman Kian Calder says they are going to have to be ready to compete as soon as the puck drops.

A group of former Winnipeg Jets invaded Stride Place tonight for an exhibition contest against the Portage Terriers Alumni. 

The Jets ultimately came out on top 11-5 in a game that saw a few Portagers take the ice alongside some of the players they watched growing up. Former Jets forward Tim Stapleton says it was fun trying to set up the local 'imports' as they called them.

Stride Place is set to host next week's MJHL Top Prospect Showcase and a plethora of Terriers will be in action.

This is an opportunity for the top talent in the MJHL to be put on display in front of scouts from the WHL, NCAA, USports, and even the NHL.

The 120 players will be split up into six different teams, four U20 squads and two U18 teams, as they play in the first edition of this event. Each team will take part in a practice and two games.
