The U13 Kinsmen Bombers returned home from Humboldt this past Sunday with a fourth place finish.

 

The competition over the weekend was very tight between all the  teams making for some great hockey action. The Bombers would begin the weekend with a 5-4 shootout loss to the host Humboldt Broncos Friday.

 

Saturday would see the Bombers play three games in what was a very busy day at the rink. They would drop their first game of the day 5-1 to the Saskatoon Grizzlies and would then suffer a tough 7-5 loss to the Warman Lynx. This would set up the final game on Saturday,  as a must win in order to advance to the playoffs and the Bombers would come out on top 4-0 thanks to a solid effort in net by Eli Chrisp.

 

The Bombers would finish fourth and set up a rematch with the Grizzlies Sunday morning. The Bombers would fall behind 2-0 but battled back to tie the game,  however the Grizzlies would take a 4-3 lead going into the final minutes of the game. With the goalie out,  the Bombers would tie the game with just over a minute remaining.

 

Overtime would settle nothing and the Grizzlies would go on to defeat the Bombers in a shootout. Overall,  it was a great weekend of competition and the Bombers will now turn their attention to the Wescana Inn Cup in The Pas this coming weekend.
