==History==
==History==
The Portage Terriers were founded in 1932. Ten years later the Terriers won the [[Turnbull Cup]] as Manitoba junior champions and went on to defeat the [[Oshawa Generals]] to win the [[1942 Memorial Cup|Memorial Cup]]. Their roster included [[Joe Bell (ice hockey)|Joe Bell]], [[Gordon Bell (ice hockey)|Gordon Bell]], [[Billy Gooden]], [[Lin Bend]], [[John McDonald (ice hockey)|Jack MacDonald]], Wally Stefaniw, Bobby Love, Oliver "Bud" Ritchie, [[Bill Heindl Sr.]], Jack O'Reilly, Joe Ledoux, Lloyd Smith and Don Campbell.<ref name="mhof">{{cite web|url=http://www.mbhockeyhalloffame.ca/honoured/champions.html?category=25&id=332|title=1942 Portage Terriers|publisher=Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame|access-date=2015-04-04}}</ref>
The Portage Terriers have won the Turnbull Cup as Manitoba Junior Hockey League Champion five times: 1942, 1973, 1990, 2005, and 2008.


A shortage of players following [[World War II]] forced the Terriers to cease operations in 1947. The Portage Terriers would be reborn twenty years later as members of the new [[Central Manitoba Junior Hockey League]]. The CMJHL lasted only one season before it merged with the MJHL.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.portageterriers.com/tradition/overview/|type="Traditional Overview"|date=2015-04-04|title=Portage Terriers|access-date=2015-04-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130705212754/http://www.portageterriers.com/tradition/overview/|archive-date=2013-07-05|url-status=dead}}</ref> The Terriers became a Junior 'A' club following the reorganization of Canadian junior hockey in 1970. In 1972-73, the Terriers won the [[ANAVET Cup]] as Manitoba-[[SJHL|Saskatchewan]] champions and [[Abbott Cup]] as Western Canadian champions, and then defeated the [[Pembroke Lumber Kings]] to win the [[1973 Centennial Cup]].
In 1942, the Terriers were MJHL champions, they moved on to conquer the Western Canadian Junior "A" title, the [[Abbott Cup]] as well. Later that year, they went to [[Winnipeg, Manitoba]] to host and ultimately defeat the [[Ontario Hockey League|Ontario Hockey Association]]'s [[Oshawa Generals]] to win the team's only [[Memorial Cup]] as Canadian Junior Hockey Champions.


The team endured some tough years following their [[Centennial Cup]] appearance and it was not until 1989 that the Terriers would recapture the league title. Since the mid-2000s, the Terriers have been the MJHL's most dominant franchise, winning nine [[Turnbull Cup]]s, three ANAVET Cups, and one national championship ([[2015 Royal Bank Cup|2015]]).
Roster: Staff Sgt. Addie Bell (Coach), [[Joe Bell]], [[Gordon Bell]] (Goal), [[Billy Gooden]], [[Lin Bend]], Jack MacDonald (Captain), Wally Stefaniw, Bobby Love, Oliver "Bud" Ritchie, [[Bill Heindl Sr.]], Jack O'Reilly, Joe Ledoux, Lloyd Smith and Don Campbell.


During the 2014-15 season, the Terriers set a new league record by posting a winning percentage of .917 during the regular season, after which they went undefeated through the playoffs to capture the Turnbull Cup.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.portagedailygraphic.com/2015/03/01/terriers-end-memorable-regular-season-with-a-win|title=Terriers end memorable regular season with a win|publisher=Portage Daily Graphic|date=2015-03-03}}</ref> The Terriers finished second at the [[2015 Western Canada Cup|Western Canada Cup]] and then moved on to host the [[2015 Royal Bank Cup]] in Portage la Prairie, where they captured the national title with a victory over the [[Carleton Place Canadians]] in the championship game.<ref>{{cite news|title=Terriers to host 2015 Royal Bank Cup|url=http://www.theprogress.com/sports/212968891.html|access-date=2015-04-04|publisher=Chilliwack Progress}}</ref> The [[2020 Centennial Cup|2020 national championship]], rechristened as the Centennial Cup, was also to be played in Portage la Prairie but cancelled because of the [[Coronavirus pandemic in Canada|coronavirus pandemic]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.hockeycanada.ca/en-ca/news/2021-news-national-events-cancelled|title=Hockey Canada statement on spring 2021 national championships|date=2020-02-15|publisher=Hockey Canada}}</ref>
The Memorial Cup is now the Canadian Major Junior Championship, and as of 1970 the Terriers were relegated to Tier II Junior "A".


The Terriers have played at Stride Place, originally named the Portage Credit Union Centre, since 2010. Prior to this, the Terriers played at the [[Portage Centennial Arena]]. The team's head coach and general manager is Blake Spiller, who has held the position since 2006. Spiller is the winningest coach in the team's history.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.portageonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=35338:year-in-review-portage-terriers&catid=14:local-sports&Itemid=588|title=Year In Review: Portage Terriers|publisher=PortageOnline.com|access-date=2015-04-04}}</ref>
This long running Manitoba franchise won the [[Anavet Cup]] and [[Abbott Cup]] in 1973. In 1973, the Terriers defeated the [[SJHL]]'s [[Humboldt Broncos]] to win the Prairie regional and the [[Penticton Vees|Penticton Broncos]] to win the Western Canadian Championship. This moved them along to the [[Centennial Cup 1973]] Final against the [[Pembroke Lumber Kings]] of the [[Central Junior A Hockey League]]. The Terriers defeated the Lumber Kings 4-games-to-1 to clinch their only Tier II National title.


The 1942 and 1972-73 Portage Terriers have been inducted into the [[Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame]] under the team category.<ref name="mhof" /><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mbhockeyhalloffame.ca/honoured/champions.html?category=23&id=317|title=1972-73 Portage Terriers|publisher=Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame|access-date=2015-04-04}}</ref>
It seems that in the early 1980s, the Terriers or a team affiliated with the Terriers won the 1984 [[Keystone Cup]] as Western Canadian Junior "B" Champions.


==List of championships==
In 2005, the Terriers defeated the Selkirk Steelers to win the MJHL Championship and then the Terriers defeated the [[Yorkton Terriers]] to win another [[Anavet Cup]]. This earned them a berth to the [[Royal Bank Cup 2005]] tournament. The Terriers finished the round robin with a 1-3 record and were eliminated from playoff contention.

In 2008, Portage defeated the Winnipeg Saints to win the MJHL Championship 4 games to 1; The Terriers lost the Anavet Cup series in 4 straight games to the SJHL Champion Humboldt Broncos.

The Portage Terriers are a Canadian junior "A" ice hockey team from Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, Canada. They are members of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League, a part of the Canadian Junior Hockey League.

History[edit]

The Portage Terriers were founded in 1932. Ten years later the Terriers won the Turnbull Cup as Manitoba junior champions and went on to defeat the Oshawa Generals to win the Memorial Cup. Their roster included Joe Bell, Gordon Bell, Billy Gooden, Lin Bend, Jack MacDonald, Wally Stefaniw, Bobby Love, Oliver "Bud" Ritchie, Bill Heindl Sr., Jack O'Reilly, Joe Ledoux, Lloyd Smith and Don Campbell.[1]

A shortage of players following World War II forced the Terriers to cease operations in 1947. The Portage Terriers would be reborn twenty years later as members of the new Central Manitoba Junior Hockey League. The CMJHL lasted only one season before it merged with the MJHL.[2] The Terriers became a Junior 'A' club following the reorganization of Canadian junior hockey in 1970. In 1972-73, the Terriers won the ANAVET Cup as Manitoba-Saskatchewan champions and Abbott Cup as Western Canadian champions, and then defeated the Pembroke Lumber Kings to win the 1973 Centennial Cup.

The team endured some tough years following their Centennial Cup appearance and it was not until 1989 that the Terriers would recapture the league title. Since the mid-2000s, the Terriers have been the MJHL's most dominant franchise, winning nine Turnbull Cups, three ANAVET Cups, and one national championship (2015).

During the 2014-15 season, the Terriers set a new league record by posting a winning percentage of .917 during the regular season, after which they went undefeated through the playoffs to capture the Turnbull Cup.[3] The Terriers finished second at the Western Canada Cup and then moved on to host the 2015 Royal Bank Cup in Portage la Prairie, where they captured the national title with a victory over the Carleton Place Canadians in the championship game.[4] The 2020 national championship, rechristened as the Centennial Cup, was also to be played in Portage la Prairie but cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic.[5]

The Terriers have played at Stride Place, originally named the Portage Credit Union Centre, since 2010. Prior to this, the Terriers played at the Portage Centennial Arena. The team's head coach and general manager is Blake Spiller, who has held the position since 2006. Spiller is the winningest coach in the team's history.[6]

The 1942 and 1972-73 Portage Terriers have been inducted into the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame under the team category.[1][7]
