For the last 19 years, Mike Reagan has been the Head Coach and GM of the Flin Flon Bombers.

 

That is about to change as the home town product is on his way to the Kelowna Rockets of the WHL to become the team's new Assistant Coach.

 

Reagan leaves behind an incredible legacy that will probably  never be duplicated.

 

In 19 years behind the bench Reagan has proven himself to be one of the top bench bosses in Western Canada.

 

His resume speaks for itself. 2024 CJHL and SJHL Coach Of The Year, 4 time SJHL Coach Of The Year finalist, 6 league Finals, 6 Division Titles and a Canterra Seeds Cup Championship this past Spring, the first for the franchise in 33 years.

 

Reagan's career coaching record with the Bombers stands at 606-334-88, which not only makes him the winningest coach in Bomber history but one of the winningest coach's in the history of the SJHL.

 

One of Mike's biggest strengths was,  he was   able to put a quality team on the ice every single season,  as  he did not miss the playoffs one single time in his 19 years behind the bench.

 

Reagan also did a tremendous job getting his players to  the next level and was able to get over 40 players into the NCAA Division 1 schools.

 

This is a very big loss for the organization but on behalf of the entire Bomber family I want to personally congratulate Mike on his opportunity to get to the next level. He will be greatly missed but deserves this opportunity.

 

Mike also gets to leave on a high after guiding the team to their first league title in 33 years , something that he and the entire community have chased for more than three decades.

 

I will never forget what Mike said to me on our Post Game Show on 102.9 CFAR after winning the Championship in Yorkton in April. " I feel like the weight of the Smoke Stack  is off my shoulders, now that we finally got this done."

 

No one wanted to win or was committed to winning more than him , and it was nice to see the Hockey Club and community get rewarded with this Championship.

 

The accolades  don't end there for the former legendary bench boss, as Reagan will get his place in the SJHL Hall Of Fame. The Flin Flon Bombers will host the SJHL Induction Ceremony on Saturday   September the 26th.

 

Reagan will be one of 6 inductees including the 92-93 Championship Team. 

 

The Bombers wasted no time naming a replacement as former player and Assistant Coach Cole McCaig will be leaving the Brookes Bandits to return to Flin Flon.

 

McCaig spent 7 years as an Assistant  behind the Bombers bench between 2018 and 2025 and was born in Flin Flon and played for the team between 2011 and 2014.

 

Cole knows the community well, the history of the organization and was very popular with the players and is able to relate to the players of today. 

 

He will be a very good fit and I know the organization has all the confidence in the World that Cole can come in and continue the success  of this storied franchise.
