The Portage Terriers are a Canadian Tier II 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 A Hockey League and Hockey Canada.

History

The Portage Terriers have won the Turnbull Cup as MJHL Champions four times: 1942, 1973, 1990, and 2005.

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 Association's Oshawa Generals to win the team's only Memorial Cup as Canadian Junior Hockey Champions. The Memorial Cup is now the Canadian Major Junior Championship, and as of 1970 the Terriers were relegated to Tier II Junior "A".

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 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.

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.

In 2005 they defeated the Yorkton Terriers to win another Anavet Cup. This earned them a birth to the Royal Bank Cup 2005 tournament. The Terriers finished the round robin with a 1-3 record and were eliminated.
