It Starts Tonight

We are just a few hours away from the start of another SJHL season and the Flin Flon Bombers and Laronge Ice Wolves are set to re-new their rivalry.

 

The Ice Wolves come to town tonight with some re-newed optimisim and a brand new coach in former NHL'er Kevin "the killer" Kaminski.

 

Kaminski has re-established the scouting system and has been able to recruit players from every where. They are also bigger and will be no push over this season.

 

They went 2-1 in the pre season with wins over Kindersley and Nipawin.

 

If the Wolves are going to push for a playoff spot this season, they are going to have to play better against the Bombers head to head. In 20 head to head match ups the last couple of years, Laronge only has 4 wins.

 

Flin Flon didn't win a game in the pre season finishing up 0-3-2 but feel this is as deep up front as they have ever been.

 

The Bombers have brought in lots of offense including Cole Rafuse who won a Memorial Cup a couple seasons back with Acadie Bathurst and Alec Malo who put up 84 points with a Junior A team out of Montreal.

 

Flin Flon also traded for the Haygarth twins out of Lloydminster who should add some offense not to mention some grit.

 

Returning vets, include the high flying Donavan Houle, Caleb Franklin, Jack Michell, Captain Mason Martin and goalie Jacob Delorme, who should all be solid.

 

The team looks quick and should be one of the fastest teams in the league this season and will need to score some goals to help off set a pretty young blue line.

 

The Bombers and Wolves will meet 10 times this year including the home and home to open up the season.

 

Tonight's game at the Whitney Forum will start at 7:30 and their will be a tail gate party starting at 5:30.

 

Tomorrow's game in Laronge is set to go at 8:30 Manitoba time.

 

We will have both broadcasts on 102.9 CFAR and flinflononline.com, starting with the Great North GM Coach's Show, 20 minutes before the opening face off.
