The teddy bears weren’t in fans’ hands very long on Friday night at the Northern Lights Palace.
It took Zac Somers just 1:09 to open the scoring on Teddy Bear Toss night as the Mustangs defeated the Yorkton Terriers 7-0. And it seemed like Somers was the perfect one to score the Teddy Bear goal, the hometown boy, on the hottest of hot streaks right now, and on Parent Billet Weekend.
“It’s something that you see every year growing up,” Somers said. “It’s quite an honour to get that one to go. But ultimately a great play by Riley Ashe, and that was a tap in.”
Dawson Leroux and David Rioux each added goals before 10 minutes had ticked off the first period clock to give Melfort the early 3-0 lead. The good times would also continue into the second as Kevin Minnoch, Ben Tkachuk, and Somers would all score to double the Mustangs lead to 6-0. Rioux would add one more in the third period for a 7-0 victory for the Mustangs, the most goals they’ve scored in a game this season.
