Portage Terriers

The Portage Terriers are bringing in another 20-year-old from the SJHL.

The Dogs have acquired forward Bryden Kiesman and future considerations from the Nipawin Hawks in exchange for forwards Alyandro De Leon and Hudson Cameron.

Kiesman has 51 games of WHL experience as he spent two seasons with the Moose Jaw Warriors. The Winnipeg product started last season with the Virden Oil Capitals before being sent to Nipawin. He put up a total of 22 points in the 2021-22 campaign and has been on a point-per-game pace this season with six goals and four assists in ten games.

The Portage Terriers wrapped up their "Grow Project 2022" last week bringing in 1000 bushels of soybeans.

Cody Buhler, marketing director for the Terriers, says the team received donations from different community partners to help grow and harvest the soybeans.

Portage Terriers players continue to garner league recognition early in the 2022-23 MJHL season.

Bailey Monteith is the latest player to be highlighted for his stellar play to start this year.

Last week, the Goaltender picked up two wins, one being a shutout with a 0.50GAA and a .976SV%.

The Portage Terriers remain undefeated on home ice after taking down the Winnipeg Blue tonight. The Dogs downed the Blues 6-3, making them winners of six consecutive contests.

The Terriers' offence got rolling early. Matt Wisener picked the puck up in the neutral zone with speed and brought it in along the boards. He cut toward the net, went right in front of the Blues' goaltender, and slid the puck past him before he could get across the crease. This made it 1-0 just over a minute into the game.

The Portage Terriers are now 10-0 over the last five seasons in Neepawa. The Dogs annihilated the Titans tonight coming away with an 8-0 victory.

The Dogs opened the scoring early as Ryan Botterill broke up a play in the neutral zone and made a pass to Jamie Valentino. This created a 2-on-1 opportunity where Valentino kept it himself but was stopped, however, Daniel Siso was there to put home his third goal of the season.

The Portage Terriers are looking to make it five consecutive wins tonight in Neepawa.

This will be the Dogs' first meeting with the Titans so far this season but defenceman Brandon McCartney says he expects it to be a competitive contest. He outlines how they stay level-headed with the early success.

The Portage Terriers are acquiring a veteran from the SJHL.

The Dogs have shipped out the CJHL rights to forward Rhys Raeside, along with future considerations, to the Flin Flon Bombers in exchange for forward Kaden Kohle.

Kohle is in his senior season at the junior level and had one point in seven games with the Bombers this season. The forward spent the last four years in the WHL with both the Tri-City Americans and Vancouver Giants. He put up a total of 16 points throughout his WHL career.

The Portage Terriers held their annual general meeting last night and saw some youth added to the Board of Directors. President of the organization Dave Koroscil says they're happy to have their HockeyTV play-by-play announcer Jared Thiessen added to the mix.

The Portage Terriers have made it four wins in a row. The Dogs came away with a 4-1 victory over the Winnipeg Blues on the road tonight.

The Terriers opened the scoring on special teams but not on the end you would expect. After Brandon Funk took a high sticking penalty, last year’s leading scorer Daniel Siso found himself on a short-handed breakaway. He went to his backhand and was able to pick up the unassisted marker for his second goal of the season.
