Melville on to Sherwood Final!

The Melville Millionaires have yet to lose a game in the playoffs as they completed the sweep of the rival Yorkton Terriers by a score of 2-0 in enemy terrritory on Thursday night.

Joe Rodwell made 20 saves for his second shutout of the postseason and the Millionaires got goals from Chris Shudo and Kale Dolinski in the win. Dion Campbell added two assists with Jeremie Houde also picking up a helper. Lynden Sammartino did all he could in the Yorkton goal as he made 35 saves in his final SJHL game. Along with Sammartino, the Terriers also graduate Kyle Block, Chris Cook, Ken Petkau, and Jordan Pawelec. It is also believed that Michael Trebish will be off to an NCAA Division 1 school but please correct me if I am wrong. Best of luck to all of the graduating Terriers as they move on and congratulations to the Millionaires and head coach Jamie Fiesel for advancing on to the division final.
