After a 4 day break the Flin Flon Bombers will play a pair of games this weekend at the Whitney Forum.

 

One of the hottest teams in the league, Weyburn makes their second visit to Flin Flon tonight. The Wings are on a Northern swing and have picked up back to back wins over Melfort and a convincing 6-0 win over Laronge on Wednesday.
