The Battlefords North Stars are back in Yorkton to face off with the Terriers in game seven of the SJHL semifinals. It’s the biggest game of the entire season so far and will be the last for one of the teams.

With the Weyburn Red Wings and Flin Flon Bombers also playing in game seven tonight, it marks the first time since 2005 that both SJHL semifinals series go to game seven.

The North Stars were well on their way to clinching the series in game six, up 3-1 at one point in the second period, but the Terriers scored five unanswered goals in the latter half of the game to win 6-3 and force game seven back in Yorkton.

In game six, Tylan Henrikson scored a pair of goals, and now has three goals in his last two games.

Jye Zawatsky had the game winning goal for the Terriers and leads Yorkton in points throughout the series with seven (4G-3A) in six games. Zawatsky’s linemate, Gabriel Courchesne, leads the team throughout the playoffs with 16 points (4G-12A) in 12 games.
