A Special Award For Bomber Great Teddy Hampson

Everyone remembers local hockey legend Ted Hampson who was part of the Flin Flon Bombers that won the 1957 Memorial Cup before going on to a fairly lengthy Pro Hockey career.

 

After winning the Memorial Cup in 1957, Teddy went on to play Professional Hockey the next season and started a 32 year pro career in Providence.

 

His career took him to many NHL and WHA cities including Vancouver, Toronto, New York, Detroit, Oakland, Minnesota and Quebec before retiring in 1981.

 

At the age of 89, Teddy is still making headlines and has been recognized by the Professional Hockey  Scouts Federation with the Ace Award. This is in recognition for efforts above and beyond in the Scouting Community.

 

After Teddy's playing career was over he went on to scout for the St Louis Blues, Colorado Avalanche and Vancouver Canucks before retiring in 2022 at the age of 85.

 

The Ace Award is is named after Ace Bailey who was on one of the planes that crashed 25 years ago. Winner of five Stanley Cup rings with the Oilers and two with the Bruins; he was wearing ring number 7 on that flight. Everyone on that flight were hero’s.

Kodiaks Win Season Opener

It was a great start to the season for the Creighton Kodiak 6 Man Football team who won a nail biter 37 to 35 over the St Brieux Crusaders  this past Friday at the Creighton Field of Dreams.

 

It was a game that went back and forth all day long and literally went down to the very last play.

 

The Kodiaks made a big stop on defense with just over two minutes remaining and used the momentum to put the winning drive together.

 

Matthew Lavis was able to haul in a 30 yard touchdown pass from Rylan Gunrud with just 25 seconds remaining and it looked like Creighton was well on their way to picking up the victory.

 

Saying that,  the Kodiaks took some penalties and St Brieux with no time left on the clock aired the ball down the field for the Hail Mary and completed the reception at the 5 yard line. Creighton made the tackle and pushed the St Brieux player back and were able to hang on for the win. 

 

This was one of the most exciting victories in Creighton Kodiak Football history and a great way to start the season.

 

Deakon Anaka  led the way offensively with three touchdowns, with Rylan Gunrud and Deagon  Long  both finding their way to the end zone as well.

 

Head Coach Ryan Karakochuk summed up the win. " The fourth quarter was very entertaining and that is one of those wins or losses that can spearhead your season. This was a game that we really needed a win  psychologically. All our players played both ways and a loss like that could of really hurt our season. Now we get a chance to rest up  and get ready for another big one here."

 

The Kodiaks will now get a week off and will play their next game in Carrot River under the lights on Friday September the 25th at 8pm Manitoba time.Creighton will play their next home game on Friday October the 2nd VS Lanigan.

Bombers Wrap Up Pre Season With Convincing Win

Seven different Flin Flon  Bombers found the back of the net for a convincing 8 to 2 win over the Northern Manitoba Blizzard on Friday night.

 

Leo Seitz scored his first of two goals just 52 seconds into the opening period and the Bombers dominated for pretty much the rest of the game.

 

Hudson Brehaut and Leo Seitz with his second of the period gave the Bombers a commanding 3 to 0 lead after the opening 20 minutes. Seitz  was able to streak down the ice and fire a nice snap shot low stick side on Will Bridgeo with less than a minute remaining in the period.

 

This put the Blizzard on their heels and the Bombers kept coming and didn't take their foot off the gas pedal.

 

Flin Flon scored three more times in the second with Ryan Ulmer and Ty Wasyluk both picking up their first goals of the pre season. Brenden Phelps from Voorhees New Jersey also scored his third of the pre season.

 

The Blizzard finally got on the board in the third period when Defenseman John Adlys snuck a shot through from the Blue Line on the Power Play to beat Bomber netminder Josh Wu.

 

Flin Flon answered right back with Veteran Rhett Ewen getting his first of the Pre Season and new comer Noah Larre collecting his team leading 4th of the Pre Season.

 

The Blizzard would get one more late with Kade Stringer jumping on a big rebound with just under 4 minutes remaining.

 

Even though it is just the Pre Season. new Bomber bench boss Cole McCaig was looking for a big bounce back after a tough 6 to 3 loss in The Pas the night before. " We couldn't of wrapped up the Pre Season in  a better way than  with an  8 to 2 win over our Northern Manitoba rivals. It feels good and I am really happy with the guys and their effort to respond  tonight. I told the guys after the game,  that I was more happy with how we played short handed. There was definitely  some moments where things were getting  ugly,  but our guys handled themselves professionally and it could of got way more ugly,  but kudos to our guys on sticking  with it and not getting involved."

 

Final shots were big time in Flin Flon's favour at 44 to 22 and the Bombers went 1 for 7 on the Powerplay while Northern Manitoba finished up at 1 for 2.

 

Noah Martin started the game for Flin Flon and wasn't hardly tested with just 5 shots. Josh Wu came in relief and he made 15 saves on 17 shots. The Blizzard started Will Bridgeo who gave up 6 goals on 27 shots while 16 year old Carter Krahn stopped 15 out of 17 shots.

 

The Bombers wrap up the Pre Season at 4-1 and will now get ready to start things for real as they will open up the SJHL regular Season this Friday in Laronge.

 

Puck drop will be at 8:30pm Manitoba time and will be broadcast on 102.9 CFAR and flinflononline.com.

 

The home opener against Laronge will go the following Friday September the 25th,  which will include the Banner Raising Ceremony from the Bombers remarkable Championship run this past Spring. Flin Flon was finally able to bring home the coveted Canterra Seeds Cup for the first time in 33 years.

Bombers Suffer Their First Pre Season Loss To The Blizzard

The Flin Flon Bombers suffered their first defeat in the Pre-Season last night as they went into the Roh H Johnston Arena ,  and dropped a 6 to 3 decision to the Northern Manitoba Blizzard.

 

The Bombers had a good first period and actually led 2 to 1 after one on goals by Brendan Phelps and Jack Martin.

 

The wheels came off in the second and the Blizzard scored three straight from Liam Carlone who scored  a pair and Matthew O'Sullivan found the back of the net  to jump up 4 to 2 after two.

 

Justin Withrow and Liam Carlone completed his hat-trick to nust it open 6 to 2,  before Phelps replied for the Bombers with his second of the night to make it a little more respectable at 6 to 3.

 

The Bomber powerplay let them down last night and wound up 0 for 7, and they were never really  in sinc and had a  tough time setting up in the Blizzard zone. The Blizzard were able to go 2 for 7 with the man advantage.

 

Kannon Kirkwood went the distance for the Blizzard between the pipes and after surrendering two goals in the opening period, settled down nicely making 34 saves on 37 shots.

 

Flin Flon split the netminding duties last night with Noah Martin stoping 9 of 12 before making way for Joseph Mitchell who stopped 5 of 8.

 

The Bombers are now 3-1 in the Pre Season while Northern Manitoba is 3-2.

Kodiaks Home Opener Tomorrow

The Creighton Kodiaks are ready to kick off another season of 6 Man  Saskatchewan High School Football.

 

The Kodiaks are in a new Division this year which is Conference 3 which  includes teams from Viscount, Lanigan, Carrot River and St Brieux.

 

Creighton will host St Briex tomorrow and Head Coach Ryan Karakochuk is very much looking forward to the season. " We are definitely excited to play at home,  which is a huge advantage and  St Brieux has never been here before. We will have to use our field and crowd and hopefully pull out a W. The boys have been practising very hard and we are impressed with each and every one of them. We don't have as many guys and we did get a couple banged up in Training Camp which is normal. Saying that, our offense looks really good and we will go all out to win this game." 

 

The Kodiaks will be looking to build off their 1-5 record last year that saw them play only  two home games. They also couldn't play a home game til October due to problems with their field,  so Coach  Karakochuk feels they are already ahead of where they were last season.

 

Kick off is at 4pm tomorrow at the Creighton Field Of Dreams against the St Brieux Crusaders and the Kodiaks are hoping for a jam packed crowd to start the season.

Bombers Pick Up Another Win At The Whitney Forum

The Flin Flon Bombers dressed some vets last night and found their groove offensively with a 7 to 3 win over their Northern rivals,  the Laronge Ice Wolves in pre season action at the Whitney Forum.

 

 Local product Ryder Mucha scored his first of the pre season just 38 seconds into the game and the Bombers never looked back.

 

Keaton Lesperance held the hot hand and had a 4 point game including two goals and two assists. Luca Martyniuk, Hank Thompson, Nathan Lalumiere and Noah Larre with his team leading third goal of the pre season all found the back of the net for the Bombers.

 

Everett Merchant responded with a pair for the Wolves, with the other Laronge goal coming from William Knox.

 

Flin Flon outshot Laronge 47 to 34 with the Bombers Josh Wu stopping 15 of 16 shots before making way for Joseph Mitchell who ended up with 16 saves on 18 shots.

 

Laronge used both their returning goalies from last year with Gabriel Poitras stopping 27 out of 33 before Riley Zezel came in to make 13 saves on 14 shots.

 

Specialty teams were a big part of the story from last night's game with the Bombers going 3 for 7 on the powerplay, while the Wolves were 0 for 5.

 

The game did get off to a late  start due to some problems with the Laronge bus, but the good news is they made it to Flin Flon safely and were able to play the game.

 

Flin Flon improves to 3-0 in the Pre Season and will finish off a busy week with a home and home with the Northern Manitoba Blizzard this Thursday and Friday.

Bombers Knock Off Blizzard In Pre Season Opener

The Flin Flon Bombers were able to prevail against the Northern Manitoba Blizzard in a very entertaining game Sunday afternoon at the Whitney Forum, by a score of 2 to 1 in OT.

 

It was the first pre season game for the Maroon and White who just wrapped up Main Camp on Saturday, while this was the fourth pre season game for the Blizzard.

 

Specialty teams were a big part of the story on Sunday with Flin Flon killing off 6 of 7 Blizzard powerplays on the afternoon.

 

The only blemish was a late first period powerplay goal from John Adlys,  who was able to sneak a shot from the blue-line which fooled a screened Noah Martin.

 

The Bombers answered less than three minutes later,  when Carter Stamp Vincent tapped home a beautiful pass from Luca Martyniuk when he was left alone in front of the Blizzard net.

 

This was a huge goal for Flin Flon who were able to covert on their only powerplay chance in the game.

 

The game remain deadlocked at 1 the rest of the afternoon and wouldn't be decided til the OT period.

 

Northern Manitoba had a great chance to end it as they had a 4 on 3 powerplay heading into the extra period, but once again the Flin Flon penalty kill did the job.

 

The Bombers converted on their first chance after killing the penalty when Ben Shaw was left alone in front of the Blizzard net and he banged home a perfect pass from Brendan Phelps.

 

It was the Bombers only shot in Over Time and they made it count.

 

All 4 goalies played well with the Bomber tandem of Noah Martin and Josh Wu combining for 33 saves on 34 shots. The Blizzard duo of Carter krahn and Alex Jones ended up with 30 saves on 32 shots.

 

It was a great way for Flin Flon to start the pre season with the lineup made up of all rookies. The Blizzard played a couple of vets, but went with a pretty young lineup as well  and saw their pre season record fall to 2-2.

 

This was the first coaching win for new Bomber bench boss Cole McCaig who was brought back to take over for long time Coach Mike Reagan who has moved on to the WHL.

 

A busy week for Flin Flon as they will now play 4 games in 5 days including a trip to Laronge on Monday. The Wolves are in Flin Flon Tuesday, before a home and home with the Blizzard to close out the pre season on Thursday and Friday.

 

You will be able to listen to Friday's final pre season game on 102.9 CFAR and flinflononline.com beginning with the Pre Game Show at 7:15 and drop of the puck at 7:30pm.

 

Then it all starts for real with the Bombers off to Laronge to kick off the regular season on Friday September the 18th before the Home Opener to kick off the Hall Of Fame Weekend on Friday September the 25th.

Connor Miller Back To The Broncos

Big news for the Humboldt Broncos as they have re-acquired Connor Miller  from the Flin Flon Bombers.

 

Miller was sent to Flin Flon last January in that blockbuster trade that included Goaltender Charlie Tritt and Defenseman Ryder Knutson.

 

The Bombers still owe the Broncos three roster players who will be officially moved after October the 1st.

 

Part of the deal was Miller's roster rights returning to the Bronco's for the start of the 2026-27 regular season.

 

This proved to be a big trade for the Bombers as Miller was a key cog in helping Flin Flon win their first League Championship in 33 years.

 

Connor led the Bombers in scoring in the playoffs with 15 points including 9 goals and was also named the Playoff MVP.

 

This should be a very big year for the 20 year old out of Lipton Saskatchewan as he was just named the Bronco's Captain,  and will get a chance to finish his career where it all began.

Walter was playing with Logan Simon and Brayden Church for the second Hole In One in August and this Summer.

Flin Flon Bombers Open Main Camp On Friday

It is a big season for the Flin Flon Bombers for lots of reasons as not only are they the reigning league champions heading into this year, but the franchise is also  celebrating 100 years.

 

Not only are the Bombers regarded as one of the most decorated Junior Franchises in the world, but you could argue one of the most famous and celebrated Hockey Clubs on the planet.

 

This promises to be a historic season with lots of events and celebrations including the SJHL Hall Of Fame Weekend on September the 25th and 26th.

 

Main Camp will open up on Friday at the Whitney Forum,  and one of the most familiar faces of the franchise in recent memory will not be present.

 

Long time Head Coach and GM , Mike Reagan who has been the Coach and GM of the team the last 19 seasons and the face of the franchise has taken a job with the Kelowna Rockets of the WHL.

 

Reagan leaves the team on top after he was able to lead the Bombers to their first league title in 33 years.

 

The Bombers have welcomed Cole McCaig back to the team as he returns after a one year absence with the Brooks Bandits of the BCHL. Prior to last season, McCaig was an Assistant Coach with the Bombers for 7 years, so he knows the organization and community very well.

 

McCaig also suited up for the Bombers as a player for 123 games between 2011 and 2014 before finishing his career with Way Way of the MJHL.

 

Friday, Cole McCaig will officially begin his first tour of duty as the new bench boss and looks forward to his new role. “ I mean obviously as a staff we are really excited, Jon Klasson and the rest of our scouting staff have identified  some really good players. We have 3 full teams signed up for Camp, so we have more than enough players here who are going to be fighting for spots to be a Bomber.

 

Flin Flon is expecting 60 players at Camp including 14 returning players from last year’s Championship team including 9 forwards and 5 defensemen and no returning goalies with Finn Werner trying out with Everett of the WHL.

 

That number of returning players will dwindle to 11 as the Bombers need to complete the deal with the Humboldt Broncos and owe them 3 players after the big trade from this past January’s trade deadline.

 

That deal will be completed after October the 1st.

 

Main Camp opens on Friday with registration at 11am. Team  practises start at noon and will continue til 5:30pm. Intra Squad Games will then take over for the rest of the day til 9:30pm.

 

Intra Squad Games will start again on Saturday at 10am with the final two games slated to go Saturday night at 6 and 7:30pm.

 

The Bombers won’t have much time to rest after Camp as they will jump right into the Pre-Season as they will host the Northern Manitoba Blizzard of the MJHL this Sunday August the 6th, 4pm at the Whitney Forum.

 

Then it will be another 4 pre season games in 5 days including a trip to Laronge on Monday the 7th, Flin Flon host the Wolves on Tuesday  the 8th and a home and home with the Blizzard on the 10th and 11th.

 

The regular season will begin officially on Friday September the 18th with the Bombers travelling to Laronge before hosting the Wolves in their home opener the following Friday on the 25th.

 

The Home Opener will include the raising of the Championship  banners prior to puck drop, so hopefully there will be a nice big crowd to officially  kick off the 100th season.
