It was just another night at the office for the Flin Flon Bombers who knocked off the struggling Laronge Ice Wolves 6-2 at the Whitney Forum Saturday night.

Flin Flon has hit 30 wins on the season and have also won their last 15 in a row on home ice.

Greyson Reitmeier continues to be one of the best players in the league night in and night out and picked up 4 points to move to  within just 2 points of Notre Dame's Ben Duperreault for the overall scoring lead.

Reitmeier has 60 points in 45 games including 22 goals.

Hooper, Lavallee, Etter and new comer Teal Sobkowicz also scored. For Sobkowics this is  his second in a Bomber uniform since being picked up January the 10th from Estevan.

It was a big night for third string goalie Gunnar Neilson who picked up his first win in a Bomber uniform stopping 29 out of 31 Laronge shots and looked pretty sharp and composed for his first start since December the 17th.

Neilson has been patient waiting his turn and Head Coach and GM Mike Reagan has desribed him as the perfect team mate. He never complains about not playing and has fit in very well with the locker room and displays a very positive attitude.

It was great to witness his first Bomber win and nobody on the squad deserved this more than he did, as he got mobbed by his team mates after the win on Saturday.

Flin Flon will improve to 30-10-2-3 on the season and remain first in the Sherwood, 8 points up on a red hot Nipawin Hawk squad who have won 7 in a row and are not letting the Bombers get to comfortable atop the division.

The Bombers and Hawks will square off three more times this season including the final regular season game March the 7th at the Whitney Forum.

Flin Flon also remain second overall, 10 points behind Battleford with 13 games left. Mike Reagan says their goal is to catch Battleford, but will be more than happy to grab one of the top three seeds.

Next up will  be a 4 game in 5 night road trip which starts Wednesday in Melfort where the Bombers have dropped their last two meetings. Then it is off to Melville Thursday, Notre Dame Saturday and Estevan Sunday afternoon.

102.9 CFAR and flinflononline.com will have all 4 broadcasts with Raphael Saray making the trip to bring the action to all of Northern Manitoba and the world.

Remember we hit the air with the Murray GM Coach's Show 15 minutes before the opening face off.

The Lyle Lavis Memorial Senior Ladies and Men's Bonspiel take place this weekend at the Uptown Curling Club.

Here is the opening draw for Saturday morning at 9:30.

Sheila Adams VS Dianne Burwash

Anne Hardy VS Judy Black

The Creighton Kodiak Basketball teams will both be in action this weekend.

The Kodiak Girls will be in Kinistino and play their first game against Birch Hills Friday at 5:30.

The Kodiak Boys are in Prince Albert and play their first game against Meath Park Friday at 5.

The Bombers were able to rebound with a solid 4-1 win at the Farrell Agencies Arena Saturday afternoon after dropping a 5-4 decision in a shoot out to Yorkton Friday night.

Flin Flon tasted defeat for the first time in 2017 and also had their 6 game win streak snapped, but did what good teams do and that is respond after a loss.

Nick Shumlanski opened up the scoring in the second period when he picked up his 12th of the year on the powerplay at 3:05.

Jordan McCausland followed that up with a pair of goals against his former team his 7th and 8th of the year. McCausland had 1 goal in 26 games with Yorkton and now has 7 goals in 15 games with the Bombers.

Flin Flon would get an insurance goal from Greyson Reitmeier in the third period as he would pick up his 20th of the season on a nice feed from Hooper. Reitmeier had a great weekend picking up 4 points in the weekend set in Yorkton and has moved into second spot for the league scoring race with 55 points in 43 games.

Reitmeier trails Notre Dame's Ben Duperreault by 5 points for first overall.

This was as good a game as goaltender Brenden Newton has played all season stopping 36 out of 37 Yorkton shots and Mike Reagan mentioned on the CFAR Post Game Report that it looked like the Brenden Newton of last season.

After the weekend the Bomber record will stand at 28-10-2-3 good for 61 points which gives them a 10 point lead on Nipawin for first in the Sherwood and the Hawks holding 4 games in hand.

Flin Flon also continues to hold down second overall 6 points up on Estevan,  but the Bruins also have 2 games in hand.

Not much rest time as the Bombers will now prepare for the Melfort Mustangs who make their way to the Whitney Forum for just the second time this season Tuesday night. Melfort hasn't been at the Whitney Forum since November the 1st.

The Mustangs have played the Bombers well winning both games at the Palace and are responsible for two of the Bombers 5 losses since the beginning of November.

No broadcast of this game, we hit the air waves on Saturday as the Bombers prepare for the Laronge Ice Wolves with the Murray GM Coach's Show at 7:15 and play by play at 7:30.

Hapnot competed in Pre- Zone Basketball this past weekend in The Pas.

The Queens had another productive weekend going 3-1 in the round robin before losing to a very good Thompson team 66-53 in the final.

The Kings finished 1-3 and did not make the playoffs.

Thompson won the final beating the Pas 77-58.

Next up for the Queens will be the Transcona Optimast Feb 3-4, and the Kings will play in the Mac Attack in Winnipeg Feb 10-11th.

The Werbicki Trucking Bantam AA Bombers capped a perfect weekend defeating The Pas 7-3 in the Gold Medal game played earlier today at the Whitney Forum.

Goal scorers for the AA Bombers were: Blake Lanonen with a pair, Morgan Beauchamp, Jordan Pfoh, Owen Slugoski and Aiden Collard.

Flin Flon also beat the Pas, Thompson and Cross Lake in the round robin and now qualify for Provincials in Labroquerie March the 10th to the 12th.

Cross Lake beat Thompson 9-2 in the Bronze Medal game.

The Ped's Threads Atom AA Bombers were in the Pas and they beat Thompson earlier today to capture the Gold Medal and also qualify for Provincials in Stonwall March the 3rd to the 5th.

They finished regualtion with two wins and a tie.

Hapnot is off to the Pas to compete in Pre- Zone High School  basketball this weekend with action starting this afternoon.

The Kings and Queens will have identical schedules and will play the Pas at 2 and Cross Lake at 6:30. Tomorrow they face Thompson at 10 and Norway House at 2:30.

The finals will go at 4.

The Flin Flon Bombers will put their 6 game winning streak on the line as they hit the Farrell Agencies Arena in Yorkton this weekend for a pair of games.

The two teams will face off tonight at 7:30 and a rare Saturday afternoon contest at 3.

Flin Flon lead the season series two games to none including a 4-2 win at the Whitney Forum last Friday.

The Bombers are flying high with a record of : 27-10-2-2 and have 58 points which has them leading the Sherwood Division and the second best record overall behind only Battleford.

Matter of fact the Bombers have only lost 4 times since the beginning of November reeling off an amazing record of 19-4.

There are lots of reasons for the success including solid goaltending, a veteran d-core and lots of different players stepping up each night.

Offensively the Bombers have also found their groove with Rylee Zimmer, Jason Lavallee, Greyson Reitmeier, Brandon Lesko , Kristian St.Onge and Nick Shumlanski filling the back of the net every night.

Flin Flon have scored 158 goals in 41 games which has them third overall and their 111 against also has them ranked third.

New comers Troy Williams and former Terrier Jordan McCausland have also fit in very nicely and have added 10 goals between them.

Yorkton has a record of 18-20-3-0 and sit third in the Viterra Division and are 7th overall and could be a dangerous team to play in the playoffs.

They have a very good goalie in Nathan Hargrave and just got Dakota Odgers back from the Western league and the Welke brothers are always dangerous.

It should be a very interesting weekend and you can catch both games here on the Bomber originater 102.9 CFAR and flin flon online.com.

Craig Stein will have the call both games with the Murray GM Coach's Show hitting the air 15 minutes before puck drop.

After a bit of a slow first period, the Bombers started to pull away in the second , when Rylee Zimmer opened things up with his 16th of the season scoring short handed.

Zimmer flew down the ice and grabbed a loose puck in the left corner and fooled Hound netminder Benjamin Patt with a quick shot through his legs, which stood up as the game winner.

Zimmer remains one of the hottest players in the league and now has 14 points in his last 10 games and sits 5th overall in league scoring with 48 points in 41 games.

Other goals in the second period came from Lavallee his team leading 20th of the year and Williams added his 5th on the power play.
