Steve Lytwyn announced earlier today that McIsaac School has been awarded the right to operate a hockey academy starting in the fall.

This initiative is an exciting opportunity for Flin Flon Minor Hockey, The City Of Flin Flon, Hockey Canada and the Flin Flon School Division to engage students in school.

This will be open to both male and female students and will be part of the Phys Ed program with 2 ice sessions per week which will really focus in on skill development. Rob Abbott will be the head instructor with additional support from Gary Childerhose the Assistant Coach of the Bombers and help from the Bomber Buddies Program.

Lytwyn was in the CFAR studio earlier today and mentioned there is a lot of support for this program to begin.

" I have had a lot of support from staff at McIsaac  as well as divisional support and I really want to thank them for helping. I want to thank Flin Flon Minor Hockey for giving us their approval as well as the City Of Flin Flon. Hockey Canada was the final step to get approval since this is a Hockey Canada Skills Academy, so really excited as we just found out yesterday."
