The Iron Horse Kindersley Klippers notched their 1st win of this young 2015/16 SJHL regular season with a 6 – 5 final over the Yorkton Terriers.
Yorkton opened the scoring @ 8:28 of the 1st with a power play goal by Dayton Boutilier from Corwin Stevely & Adam Santoro. Kindersley’s Daniell Lange potted a power play goal of his own @ 11:53 from Landon Gross & Branden Scheidl to even the score at 1-1. Brendon Benson gave the Klippers a 2-1 lead unassisted @ 13:03; which is what the scoreboard read after 1 period of play.
It took just 1 minute & 1 second of the 2nd for Terrier Brandon Sookro to tie the game 2-2 assisted by Shane Sherban & Paul Savage. Kindersley answered right back @ 5:16 with Daniell Lange scoring his 2nd of the night getting some help from Dexter Bricker & Austin Calladine to regain the lead 3-2.

Kindersley’s Carson Pickett bumped the Klippers up to 4-3 @ the 18:31 mark, on the power play helped out by Cody Young & Branden Scheidl. However the Terriers bit right back @ 19:24 with Adam Santoro scoring unassisted to wrap the 2nd with both teams tied at 4.
About 2 and a 1/2 minutes into the 3rd Kindersley took the lead once again, 5-4, with a power play goal by Brendon Benson, his 2nd of game, assisted by Austin Callandine . Sam Binfet gave the Klippers a bit of breathing room @ 5:48, going up 6-4 assisted by Cody Young & Josh Stang. Yorkton continued to press hard though & Jordan Evans was rewarded scoring unassisted on the power play @ 7:53 to narrow the gap 6-5.
The back half of the 3rd period saw both teams skating hard. Kindersley working to hold on to their 1 goal lead, while Yorkton pushed back to tie things up once again. At the end of 60 minutes the Klippers added their first W to the SJHL stat board with a 6-5 final over the Terriers.
