Just a few more weeks before the defending SJHL Champion Flin Flon Bombers make thir way back to the Whitney Forum for Training Camp.

 

There has  already been a number of major moves made by the organization with the announcement of new Head Coach and GM Cole McCaig being brought back to lead the team into their 100th season.

 

That announcement was made when long time bench boss Mike Reagan announced he was on his way to Kelowna of the WHL after 19 seasons at the helm in Flin Flon.

 

The Bombers have announced another new addition to the coaching staff in new Assistant Coach Rylan Thiessen. This name is no stranger to Flin Flon Bomber fans as Thiessen suited up for the Bombers back in the 2021-22 season where he put up 26 points in 33 games.

 

Thiessen was part of a very deep blue line that helped the club reach the league Final against Estevan before  dropping a heart breaker in 7 games.

 

Originally from Brandon , Thiessen and McCaig are no strangers to each other as both graduated from the Brandon Wheat Kings U-18 program.

 

Thiessen will join other Assistant's including Tyler Szturm who returns for his second season with the team from Thunder Bay. Flin Flon's own Chris Bortis will also return as an Assistant along with Athletic Therapist and Equipment Manager Jason Savill who is back with the Bombers for a 9th season.
