Bombers Host Terriers

   

 

 

After a 5 day break the Flin Flon Bombers are back in action this weekend, when they entertain the defending Royal Bank Cup Champion Yorkton Terriers.

 

Flin Flon sits third in the Sherwood with a record of: 21-8-5-5, 5th overall, 3 points behind Nipawin and 2 behind Notre Dame.

 

Yorkton is : 14-22-2-3 and are 4th in the Viterra Division, 4 points behind Estevan. Yorkton is dead last overall and if the playoffs were to start tomorrow, they would be one of the two teams on the outside looking in.

 

This will be the second meeting of the season between the 2 teams, with Flin Flon winning 6-3, October the 29th in Yorkton. Bomber captain Dean Allison led the way with 3 points.

 

Despite being last in the league the Terriers are 3-5-1-1 in their last 10 and are coming off a big 3-2 win over Nipawin. Trent Cassan is also considered one of the best Junior A coach's in the business and has been able to win a lot of big games in his career.

 

Cassan has 2 league titles under his belt and has been to the final on 4 separate occasions. He is defined as the ultimate players coach who has earned lots of respect, and will give the Bombers all they can handle this weekend.

 

Flin Flon are 6-2-0-2 in their last 10, and reeled off 6 straight wins before a couple of tough losses in Kindersley last weekend. Mike Reagan likes his team and recognizes the effort his group has been putting in and knows despite not getting the wins, his team out played a very good Kindersley team that has only lost 1 game at home in regulation all season.

 

When Reagan announced that Brett Boehm was returning to Flin Flon to finish his junior hockey career, he thought that this was going to be a great opportunity for Chris Rauckman to get back on track.

 

Rauckman is red hot and has scored at least 1 goal in the last 6 games and has 29 on the season, which has him tied for the league lead with Travis Mayan of the Mustangs.

 

Brett Boehm and Dean Allison have also started 2015 very well picking up points in 4 straight games. Boehm has 8 assists and Allison has 2 goals and 5 assists over that span.

 

Game time both nights is 7:30 and 102.9 CFAR will have the broadcast Saturday night beginning with the Murray GM Coach's Show at 7:15.
