Bombers Win Home Opener

It was just the start the Flin Flon Bombers were hoping for to kick off the SJHL regular season last night.

 

After a very inspiring video tribute from the graduatiing players from last year, the Flin Flon Bombers and Melfort Mustangs took to the ice to rekindle the rivalry.

 

One of the big question marks heading into this season was the Bomber goaltending situation. Neither goalie is back from last year and Cal Schell had a season for the ages and has moved on to the NCAA.

 

Harmon Laser Hume was just picked up from Nipawin and maybe answered some of those questions about the goaltending situation,  as he stopped all 34 Melfort shots to pick up the shut out in the Bombers 2 to 0 win.

 

Not bad for his first start with his brand new team. 

 

Laser Hume had to be really good last night to match his counterpart at the other end of the ice in Joel Favreau who was also rock solid.

 

Favreau kept his team in it early and made lots of big saves from point blank range and ended up with 29 saves on the night.

 

Cole Duperreault was the only player to find the back of the net last night when he converted a beautiful pass from Jaeden Mercier on a 2 on 1 early in the third.

 

That stood up as the game winner as Duperreault would also score an empty netter with just 10 seconds remaining in the game.

 

That pleased the crowd of over 1100 who went home happy after the Bomber victory.

 

Flin Flon will try to ride the momentun into Nipawin tonight for the Hawks home opener after Nipawin lost 7 to 4 in Laronge last night.

 

This will be an 8PM, Manitoba  start time so we will be on the air at 7:45 with the Great North GM Coach's Show from the Cage.
