Kodiaks Head To Carrot River On Friday

The Creighton Kodiaks 6 man football team will make their way to Carrot River this Friday to battle the Wildcats under the lights at 8pm Manitoba time.

 

The Kodiaks will play on the road the first time this season after beating St Brieux in the home opener a couple of weeks back and coming off the bye last week.

 

Carrot River is the number one ranked team in the  Conference  and sit in top spot at 2-0.

 

Head Coach Ryan Karakochuk hopes to build off the success from their win a couple of weeks back. " It was a big one for us and I had no idea what that game was going to be. I knew we had some good players, but we also have a lot of young players and depth was going to be an issue. The boys gut checked it and found a way to win late and that is something we haven't been able to do in the past, so that was a good thing. That was a great win and a big challenge and now we are off to a bigger challenge."

 

It is supposed to be a beautiful day and a capacity crowd is expected for the game under the lights. The Kodiaks are looking forward to playing under the lights for the first time on the road, they did host Sandy Bay under the lights  a few years ago and remember the great atmosphere it created.

 

Creighton will play their next home game on Friday October the 2nd VS Lanigan with kickoff at 4pm, Manitoba time.

Bombers Start The Season With A Convincing Win In Laronge

It was a weekend that Flin Flon Bomber fans in Northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan, not to mention around the rest of the Bomber Nation had patiently been waiting for.

 

The 2026-27  season is officially underway and the Bombers have started right where they left off after winning their first SJHL Championship in 33 years.

 

Flin Flon went into Laronge on Friday night and buried the Wolves by as score of 6 to 2.

 

The night didn’t start well with the Wolves scoring 27 seconds into the opening period, but Flin Flon would get on track.

 

 

It looks like the Bombers will have scoring depth once again with six different scorers finding the back of the net including new comer Eli Heroux, Hudson Brehaut, Leo Seitz, Rhett Ewen, Jack Martin and Nathan Lalimiere.

 

It was Ewen’s short handed goal that was the turning point for the Bombers late in the second period to give them a 4 to 2 lead heading into the final period.

 

Finn Werner looked good in his return between the pipes  making 19 saves on 21 shots as the Bombers start the season 1-0.

 

Final shots were 38 to 21 in Flin Flon's favour with the Bombers going 2 for 6 with the extra attacker while Laronge was 1 for 6.

 

The Bombers will now have a week to prepare for one of the biggest weekend's in franchise history with the Hall Of Fame Weekend starting on Friday.

 

It all begins with the Home Opener against Laronge on Friday night which will include the Banner Raising Ceremony. You will want to get there early before puck dop at 7:30pm.

 

Saturday will be the Bomber Alumni game at 2pm and on Saturday night you will have the Hall Of Fame Inductions.

 

The Hall Of Fame Inductions Ceremony will start with cocktails at 6pm, dinner at 7pm and the Inductions will start at 8pm.

 

The event will be once again be hosted by former Flin Flonner and current ESPN Broadcaster Leah Hextall.

 

Once again Congratulations to all the inductees including Tim Madarash who is the team’s  all time leading scorer.

Mike Reagan, the most successful Coach in Bomber history with over 600 career victories and fresh off guiding the Bombers to their first league title in 33 years.

A New Era Begins Tonight

It all begins for real tonight folks.

 

The SJHL Regular season will kick off in 5 different centres including the Jonas Roberts Memorial Community Centre in Laronge.

 

That is where the defending league Champion Flin Flon Bombers will kick off their historic 100th season.

 

There are so many story lines heading into this season including a new bench boss for the Maroon and White. This will be the first time in 19 years that Mike Reagan will not be the Head Coach and GM of this hockey team.

 

Reagan moved on to the Kelowna Rockets of the WHL and the team welcomed back popular former player and Assistant Coach Cole McCaig.

 

McCaig was the natural fit to replace Mike as he spent 7 years an an Assistant To Mike between 2018 and 2025.

 

The players are very familiar with him and he is very respected in the hockey world and he knows the importance of the history and continued success of this legendary team.

 

Flin Flon is coming off a season that saw them win 41 games en route to their first League Championship in 33 years. They will bring 14 players from last year and the organization just got a huge shot in the arm.

 

Finn Werner is back between the pipes after being released from Everett of the WHL and he should be one of the top goalies in the SJHL this season.

 

Werner was sensational in his rookie campaign where he went 13-2-0-1 with a GAA of 1.88 and a Save % of .925.

 

The Bombers are very excited to have Werner back and he is expected to get the start tonight.

 

Other returnees include Forwards Leo Seitz, Ryder Mucha, Nathan Lalumiere, Ryan Ulmer, Keaton Lesperance, Rhett Ewen, Landon Alexander , Wyatt Stinton, Hudson Brehaut and Jack Martin.

 

On Defense the Bombers will welcome back Nash Holmes, Jared Miskiw, Kyle Marsden and Brayden Bruce. Flin Flon was also able to re-acquire  Jared Bigelow from Warman.

 

Bigelow started the season with the Bombers last year but was dealt to the Wolverines due to a numbers game on the Bomber back end.

 

This will change in the next few weeks as the Bombers still owe three roster players to the Humboldt Broncos to complete last year's Blockbuster trade at the deadline  for Charlie Tritt, Ryder Knutson and Connor Miller.

 

The three players will be named on October the 1st. Local product Wyatt Stinton will be sidelined with an injury for the first half of the season and is not expected to dress til the New Year.

 

Laronge will also have a new face behind the bench as Taylor Harnett will make his SJHL regular season debut. Harnett may be new to the SJHL, but not coaching as he brings in lots of experience including his time in the MJHL with Way Way and he also has experience in the BCHL and AJHL.

 

A familiar face is also back in  Laronge including SJHL Hall Of Famer Bob Beatty who won a couple of League Championships with the Wolves in the mid 2000's.

 

Bob returns as the new GM and should really help with the recruiting.

 

No where to go but up for the Wolves as they will try to improve on their 12th place finish that saw them go 11-40-4-1, but did beat the Bombers at the end of last season.

 

No doubt there will be a great atmosphere tonight and it should be a very entertaining hockey game.

 

Flin Flon will host the Wolves in their Home Opener next Friday to kick off the Hall Of Fame Weekend. Tickets are almost sold out for the Hall Of Fame Gala  and you need to go to Bombers.ca asap to guarantee yourself a ticket.

 

Don't forget to tune in to Creighton Furniture Flin Flon Bomber Hockey tonight from the Jonas Roberts Memorial Community Centre beginning with the Great North GM Coach's Show at 8:10 and drop of the puck at 8:30pm.

His career took him to many NHL and WHA cities including Vancouver, Toronto, New York, Detroit, Oakland, Minnesota and Quebec before retiring in 1981.

 

At the age of 89, Teddy is still making headlines and has been recognized by the Professional Hockey  Scouts Federation with the Ace Award. This is in recognition for efforts above and beyond in the Scouting Community.

 

After Teddy's playing career was over he went on to scout for the St Louis Blues, Colorado Avalanche and Vancouver Canucks before retiring in 2022 at the age of 85.

Kodiaks Win Season Opener

It was a great start to the season for the Creighton Kodiak 6 Man Football team who won a nail biter 37 to 35 over the St Brieux Crusaders  this past Friday at the Creighton Field of Dreams.

 

It was a game that went back and forth all day long and literally went down to the very last play.

 

The Kodiaks made a big stop on defense with just over two minutes remaining and used the momentum to put the winning drive together.

 

Matthew Lavis was able to haul in a 30 yard touchdown pass from Rylan Gunrud with just 25 seconds remaining and it looked like Creighton was well on their way to picking up the victory.

 

Saying that,  the Kodiaks took some penalties and St Brieux with no time left on the clock aired the ball down the field for the Hail Mary and completed the reception at the 5 yard line. Creighton made the tackle and pushed the St Brieux player back and were able to hang on for the win. 

 

This was one of the most exciting victories in Creighton Kodiak Football history and a great way to start the season.

 

Deakon Anaka  led the way offensively with three touchdowns, with Rylan Gunrud and Deagon  Long  both finding their way to the end zone as well.

 

Head Coach Ryan Karakochuk summed up the win. " The fourth quarter was very entertaining and that is one of those wins or losses that can spearhead your season. This was a game that we really needed a win  psychologically. All our players played both ways and a loss like that could of really hurt our season. Now we get a chance to rest up  and get ready for another big one here."

 

The Kodiaks will now get a week off and will play their next game in Carrot River under the lights on Friday September the 25th at 8pm Manitoba time.Creighton will play their next home game on Friday October the 2nd VS Lanigan.

Bombers Wrap Up Pre Season With Convincing Win

Seven different Flin Flon  Bombers found the back of the net for a convincing 8 to 2 win over the Northern Manitoba Blizzard on Friday night.

 

Leo Seitz scored his first of two goals just 52 seconds into the opening period and the Bombers dominated for pretty much the rest of the game.

 

Hudson Brehaut and Leo Seitz with his second of the period gave the Bombers a commanding 3 to 0 lead after the opening 20 minutes. Seitz  was able to streak down the ice and fire a nice snap shot low stick side on Will Bridgeo with less than a minute remaining in the period.

 

This put the Blizzard on their heels and the Bombers kept coming and didn't take their foot off the gas pedal.

 

Flin Flon scored three more times in the second with Ryan Ulmer and Ty Wasyluk both picking up their first goals of the pre season. Brenden Phelps from Voorhees New Jersey also scored his third of the pre season.

 

The Blizzard finally got on the board in the third period when Defenseman John Adlys snuck a shot through from the Blue Line on the Power Play to beat Bomber netminder Josh Wu.

 

Flin Flon answered right back with Veteran Rhett Ewen getting his first of the Pre Season and new comer Noah Larre collecting his team leading 4th of the Pre Season.

 

The Blizzard would get one more late with Kade Stringer jumping on a big rebound with just under 4 minutes remaining.

 

Even though it is just the Pre Season. new Bomber bench boss Cole McCaig was looking for a big bounce back after a tough 6 to 3 loss in The Pas the night before. " We couldn't of wrapped up the Pre Season in  a better way than  with an  8 to 2 win over our Northern Manitoba rivals. It feels good and I am really happy with the guys and their effort to respond  tonight. I told the guys after the game,  that I was more happy with how we played short handed. There was definitely  some moments where things were getting  ugly,  but our guys handled themselves professionally and it could of got way more ugly,  but kudos to our guys on sticking  with it and not getting involved."

 

Final shots were big time in Flin Flon's favour at 44 to 22 and the Bombers went 1 for 7 on the Powerplay while Northern Manitoba finished up at 1 for 2.

 

Noah Martin started the game for Flin Flon and wasn't hardly tested with just 5 shots. Josh Wu came in relief and he made 15 saves on 17 shots. The Blizzard started Will Bridgeo who gave up 6 goals on 27 shots while 16 year old Carter Krahn stopped 15 out of 17 shots.

 

The Bombers wrap up the Pre Season at 4-1 and will now get ready to start things for real as they will open up the SJHL regular Season this Friday in Laronge.

 

Puck drop will be at 8:30pm Manitoba time and will be broadcast on 102.9 CFAR and flinflononline.com.

Bombers Suffer Their First Pre Season Loss To The Blizzard

The Flin Flon Bombers suffered their first defeat in the Pre-Season last night as they went into the Roh H Johnston Arena ,  and dropped a 6 to 3 decision to the Northern Manitoba Blizzard.

 

The Bombers had a good first period and actually led 2 to 1 after one on goals by Brendan Phelps and Jack Martin.

 

The wheels came off in the second and the Blizzard scored three straight from Liam Carlone who scored  a pair and Matthew O'Sullivan found the back of the net  to jump up 4 to 2 after two.

 

Justin Withrow and Liam Carlone completed his hat-trick to nust it open 6 to 2,  before Phelps replied for the Bombers with his second of the night to make it a little more respectable at 6 to 3.

 

The Bomber powerplay let them down last night and wound up 0 for 7, and they were never really  in sinc and had a  tough time setting up in the Blizzard zone. The Blizzard were able to go 2 for 7 with the man advantage.

 

Kannon Kirkwood went the distance for the Blizzard between the pipes and after surrendering two goals in the opening period, settled down nicely making 34 saves on 37 shots.

 

Flin Flon split the netminding duties last night with Noah Martin stoping 9 of 12 before making way for Joseph Mitchell who stopped 5 of 8.

Kodiaks Home Opener Tomorrow

The Creighton Kodiaks are ready to kick off another season of 6 Man  Saskatchewan High School Football.

 

The Kodiaks are in a new Division this year which is Conference 3 which  includes teams from Viscount, Lanigan, Carrot River and St Brieux.

 

Creighton will host St Briex tomorrow and Head Coach Ryan Karakochuk is very much looking forward to the season. " We are definitely excited to play at home,  which is a huge advantage and  St Brieux has never been here before. We will have to use our field and crowd and hopefully pull out a W. The boys have been practising very hard and we are impressed with each and every one of them. We don't have as many guys and we did get a couple banged up in Training Camp which is normal. Saying that, our offense looks really good and we will go all out to win this game." 

 

The Kodiaks will be looking to build off their 1-5 record last year that saw them play only  two home games. They also couldn't play a home game til October due to problems with their field,  so Coach  Karakochuk feels they are already ahead of where they were last season.

 

Kick off is at 4pm tomorrow at the Creighton Field Of Dreams against the St Brieux Crusaders and the Kodiaks are hoping for a jam packed crowd to start the season.

Flin Flon outshot Laronge 47 to 34 with the Bombers Josh Wu stopping 15 of 16 shots before making way for Joseph Mitchell who ended up with 16 saves on 18 shots.

 

Laronge used both their returning goalies from last year with Gabriel Poitras stopping 27 out of 33 before Riley Zezel came in to make 13 saves on 14 shots.

 

Specialty teams were a big part of the story from last night's game with the Bombers going 3 for 7 on the powerplay, while the Wolves were 0 for 5.

Bombers Knock Off Blizzard In Pre Season Opener

The Flin Flon Bombers were able to prevail against the Northern Manitoba Blizzard in a very entertaining game Sunday afternoon at the Whitney Forum, by a score of 2 to 1 in OT.

 

It was the first pre season game for the Maroon and White who just wrapped up Main Camp on Saturday, while this was the fourth pre season game for the Blizzard.

 

Specialty teams were a big part of the story on Sunday with Flin Flon killing off 6 of 7 Blizzard powerplays on the afternoon.

 

The only blemish was a late first period powerplay goal from John Adlys,  who was able to sneak a shot from the blue-line which fooled a screened Noah Martin.

 

The Bombers answered less than three minutes later,  when Carter Stamp Vincent tapped home a beautiful pass from Luca Martyniuk when he was left alone in front of the Blizzard net.

 

This was a huge goal for Flin Flon who were able to covert on their only powerplay chance in the game.

 

The game remain deadlocked at 1 the rest of the afternoon and wouldn't be decided til the OT period.

 

Northern Manitoba had a great chance to end it as they had a 4 on 3 powerplay heading into the extra period, but once again the Flin Flon penalty kill did the job.

 

The Bombers converted on their first chance after killing the penalty when Ben Shaw was left alone in front of the Blizzard net and he banged home a perfect pass from Brendan Phelps.

 

It was the Bombers only shot in Over Time and they made it count.

 

All 4 goalies played well with the Bomber tandem of Noah Martin and Josh Wu combining for 33 saves on 34 shots. The Blizzard duo of Carter krahn and Alex Jones ended up with 30 saves on 32 shots.

 

It was a great way for Flin Flon to start the pre season with the lineup made up of all rookies. The Blizzard played a couple of vets, but went with a pretty young lineup as well  and saw their pre season record fall to 2-2.

 

This was the first coaching win for new Bomber bench boss Cole McCaig who was brought back to take over for long time Coach Mike Reagan who has moved on to the WHL.

 

A busy week for Flin Flon as they will now play 4 games in 5 days including a trip to Laronge on Monday. The Wolves are in Flin Flon Tuesday, before a home and home with the Blizzard to close out the pre season on Thursday and Friday.

 

You will be able to listen to Friday's final pre season game on 102.9 CFAR and flinflononline.com beginning with the Pre Game Show at 7:15 and drop of the puck at 7:30pm.

 

Then it all starts for real with the Bombers off to Laronge to kick off the regular season on Friday September the 18th before the Home Opener to kick off the Hall Of Fame Weekend on Friday September the 25th.
