Hawks drop game 2, series tied going to Yorkton
Game two of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) quarterfinal series between the first place Nipawin Hawks and eighth seed Yorkton Terriers was a near polar opposite from the first encounter.
The Hawks took game one in a tight, 3-0 shutout in front of their home fans at Centennial Arena, and looked to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series Saturday night.
However, Terriers’ forward Cole Keenleyside poked the puck in Hawks’ goaltender Declan Hobb’s pads into the net, and a 1-0 Yorkton lead late into the first period would open the scoring floodgates.
