The Selkirk Steelers were on the road once again last week in lieu of the 2026 Bunge Championship’s takeover of Selkirk Recreation Complex.
They headed West for Neepawa on Wednesday for their lone game of the week against the Titans, who entered the match fresh off a game the night before in Waywayseecappo.
Selkirk broke the ice with the game’s opening goal midway through the first period, coming from Carter Haney for his sixth of the season, assisted by Jules Delepoulle and Peyten Legg-Cote.
Things remained that way until the second period when Neepawa broke loose for four unanswered goals.
Selkirk looked to regain momentum with a mid-frame bout between Griffin Krone and Neepawa’s Roan Michalchuk which resulted in fighting majors and game misconducts aside.
Neepawa would later add another pair in the third to take it 6-1 for the full two points in the standings.
They finished with a 30-25 shots edge with Selkirk’s Hudson Hunnie stopping 24 of 30 and Neepawa’s Alex Myers turning aside 24 of 25.
The loss makes it four consecutive defeats for the Steelers which drops them to 18-21-2-1 on the campaign.
They now sit 12 points out of a playoff spot with 16 games left before the conclusion of the regular season.
Neepawa meanwhile moved into a share of second in the MGEU West Division with Wednesday’s result.
For Selkirk, they will continue to seek success on the road in their next game against the Virden Oil Capitals on Tuesday.
They will then return home Friday to kick off a two-game weekend against the Portage Terriers and Steinbach Pistons.
