Kodiaks Crush Islanders

The Creighton Kodiaks got to play their much awaited home opener yesterday and did not disappoint the large crowd in attendance with another impressive offensive display.

 

The Kodiaks poured it on and rolled over the Cumberland House Islanders 68 to 20.

 

In a game that most likely will secure home field for the Kodiaks in the playoffs, this game was never in doubt.

 

Creighton jumped out to a quick 18-0 lead after the first quarter and kept piling up the points with a 48 to 8 lead at the half.

 

Noah Olivier had another good day with three touch downs and four converts.  Another highlight was a 70 yard strike from QB, Marcus Kennedy to Carson Straile.

 

Jaxson Smith, Myles Patterson and Connor Andrews also scored touch downs and Gracie Dubinak added two converts.

 

Head Coach Ryan Karkakochuk was happy with how his team played yesterday. " It was great to see the environment, the fans and play our first home game in two years. With that said I thought we took command of the line of scrimmage and that is the most important part of football that people don't understand. If you can establish the line of scrimmage, you can run the ball and that opens up the pass and we could do anything we wanted yesterday."

 

The Kodiaks improve to 2-1 on the season and will travel to Laronge next Tuesday October the 5th before hosting Athahkakoop on October the 13th to wrap up the regular season.

Kodiaks Will Finally Play Home Opener

This is a day the Creighton Kodiak football team has been waiting well over a year for, their much awaited home opener.

 

After losing all of last season to Covid and their first two games wiped out this year, the Kodiaks were given the green light to get back on their home field today.

 

Creighton did get back on the field in Ahtahkakoop last week and had no problem finding the end zone winning handily 81-0.

 

Noah Olivier and Myles Patterson did much of the damage with 5  touch downs between them.

 

Cumberland House will come to Creighton today for a 4 pm kick off and their is lots riding on this game with the winner getting to host a playoff game.

 

The Kodiaks are 1-1 as they were forced to forfeit their first game against Sandy Bay. Cumberland is 2-0.

 

A big crowd is expected for today's game.

Bombers Fall To 1-2

The Flin Flon Bombers did score the first goal in  last night's game against the Nipawin Hawks but couldn't muster much offense after that.

 

Cole Duperreault streaked down the left wing and snapped a low shot past Chase Hamm, just 4:48 into the opening period but that was it for the Bomber offense  as they dropped  a 4 to 1 decision.

 

Nipawin played well defensively and Flin Flon had a hard time getting to the net.

 

The Hawks scored four straight from Albertsen, Lefebvre, Wilson and Dobson with the Bombers holding the edge in shots 31 to 26.

 

The Bombers who are especially good on the power play went  0 for 1 in their only opportunity. The Hawks finished 1 for 4.

 

Flin Flon will fall to 1-2 on the season while Nipawin is tops in the Sherwood Division at 3-0.

 

Next up for the Bombers will be a home and home with Laronge this weekend. Flin Flon heads to Laronge on Friday with the re-match at the Whitney Forum on Saturday at 7:30.

 

The Wolves are still looking for their first win of the season at 0-2.

Manitoba Midget Triple A Hockey Season Is Under Way

The Manitoba Midget Triple a Hockey league kicked off the 2021-22 season this past weekend with 12 of the league's 13 teams in action including the Norman Northstars.

 

Norman got to open up the season at the C.A. Nesbitt Arena in Thompson against the Southwest Cougars.

 

It was a good showing for a very young roster with the Cougars winning both games 4 to 0 and 2 to 1 Sunday  afternoon.

 

Ian Snooks from Thompson was the only Northstar player to find the back of the net on opening weekend.

 

Norman will get another chance on home ice to grab their first win as they will welcome the Brandon Wheat Kings to town for two games next weekend October the 2nd and 3rd.

The power play was firing on all cylinders and ended up going an incredible 6 for 10 while OCN managed to go 1 for 7.

Kodiaks Forced To Forfeit Game

The Creighton Kodiaks 6 man football team has taken anothe dagger in trying to get back on the field to defend their 2019 trophy.

 

Last season was totally wiped out due to Covid and now they have lost their first two games of this season.

 

They were supposed to open up the season last week in Sandy Bay, but Sandy Bay was forced to drop out of the league and now the Kodiaks have been told they will have to forfeit their home opener tomorrow.

 

There has been a rise in Covid cases in the area so Creighton school has decided to forfeit the game to SMVS out of Laronge and the Kodiaks will start the season 0 and 1.

 

The Kodiak players will keep working hard in practise and hope to finally get on the field next week in Ahtakakoop.

Bombers Take Both In Battle Of The North

The Flin Flon Bombers had no trouble filling the back of the next this past weekend as they swept the home and home with the OCN Blizzard.

 

The Bombers took Friday's game at the Roy H johnston Arena by a score of 10 to 2 and followed that up with a 4 to 1 win at the Whitney Forum last night.

 

OCN came out hard on Friday but could not solve Jared Thompson who stood tall for the first 6 or 7 minutes to keep his team in the game.

 

The momentum turned around in Flin Flon's favour after Luke Shaeffer snuck in a shot from the blue line to put the Bombers on the board with their first shot of the night.

 

Flin Flon never looked back and quickly made it 3 to 0 on goals from Cole Duperreault and Luke Monroe.

 

OCN then started a constant stream to the penalty box and the Bombers made them pay by going 4 for 8 in helping put up the ten goals.

 

Luke Monroe would end up potting two more to collect his first junior hat-trick with other goals coming from: Matt Raymond, Mason Kaspick, Drayden Kurbatoff, Cabrel Labossiere and Lucas Fry.

 

The OCN goals came from Bryden Sinclair and Michael Hlady.

 

Saturday, the Blizzard played much better but still had trouble putting the puck in the back of the net.

 

The Blizzard scored first , but that was the only puck to beat veteran Cal Schell who saw his first action of the pre season and made 37 saves.

 

Flin Flon got their goals from Gagne, Duperreault, Swanson and Pfoh.

 

The Bombers will run their pre-season record to 2-1 and will face the Kindersley Klippers in Prince Albert in a neautral sight game tonight at 7:30.

 

We will have complete results tomorrow.

 

Next action at the Whitney Forum will be Tuesday night when the OCN Blizzard will make another visit.

 

 

 

 

Bombers Battle Blizzard

 

The battle of Northern Manitoba will take place this weekend with a home and home as the Flin Flon Bombers will tangle with the MJHL’S OCN Blizzard.

 

Tonight the two teams will hook up at the Roy H. Johnston Arena in The Pas with puck drop at 7 and the rematch tomorrow at the Whitney Forum at 7:30.

 

Head Coach Mike Reagan talks about what type of a line – up we can expect to see from them tonight.

“ We will insert some veterans with a bunch of rookies as we are only a week through training camp and I think it is important to get some veterans in especially since they didn’t play at all last year. They are chomping at the bit to get in the line up and we have three games in three nights. We are not going to play guys three straight so there will be a lot of juggling as we want to be healthy going into the regular season.”

 

This will be just the second pre-season game for the Bombers who dropped a 2-0 decision to Laronge on Sunday.

OCN has split two games with  Swan Valley including a 6 to 2 win  on Wednesday.

 

You can catch all the action on 102.9 CJAR and the pasonline.com with the Great North GM Coach’s Show at 6:45.

 

We will have the re-match on 102.9 CFAR and flinflononline.com tomorrow.

Kodiaks Season Delayed

Once again the Northern Saskatchewan Football League has had to make some changes before they hit the field.

 

The Kodiaks were to start their season in Sandy Bay last Friday but Sandy Bay has had to withdraw from the league due to not being able to get all their players vaccinated.

 

The season will start next week with the Kodiaks holding their home opener next Wednesday September the 15th, 4 pm from the Creighton Field.

 

SMVS from Laronge will be in town to kick off the season.

 

Cumberland House has rejoined the league, so that means there will be 4 teams in the league this year including Creighton, SMVS and Atahkakoop.

 

We should have the new schedule in the next couple of days and I will post on this blog when it is complete.

 

The Kodiaks are the reigning champions from 2019 and have 5 players remaining from that championship team including Marcus Kennedy, Myles Patterson, Brenne Hailey, Davon Eastman and Noah Olivier.

Bombers Fall In Pre Season Opener

The Laronge Ice Wolves scored twice in the opening period last night and that was enough offense to pick up the 2-0 pre season win at the Whitney Forum.

 

Rookies,  Cossette and Ovido provided all the offense as the Wolves out shot the Bombers 33 to 25.

 

Flin Flon also dressed all rookies and looked a little nervous to start the game as they were out shot 14 to 4 in the opening period.

 

The Bombers got better as the night went on but couldn't solve the Ice Wolf goaltenders Smith and Bell.

 

The Maroon and White countered with Max Hildebrand and Cody Wilson who both played well.

 

Head Coach and GM,  Mike Reagan had this to say about last night's pre season game. " I thought both teams competed hard and there is jobs on the line on first impressions that you have to make and I thought we got better as the game went on. We just had a slow start."

 

Flin Flon will now focus in on the battle of Northern Manitoba as they will play the MJHL'S OCN  Blizzard in a weekend series at the GLMC on Friday and back at the Whitney Forum on Saturday.

 

102.9 CFAR and flinflononline.com will have the broadcast of Saturday's game including the Great North GM Coach's Show at 7:15.

Team White Beats Team Maroon

Lots of offense last night for the annual Maroon and White game which wrapped up Bomber Main Camp at the Whitney Forum.

 

When it was all said and done, Team White erupted for four goals in the third period for the 8 to 6 victory.

 

Veteran Matt Raymond led the way with a pair of goals with singles coming from Ethan McColm, Nathan Gagne, Matt Egan, Cole Tanchuk, Nathan Flodell and Jeremi Tremblay.

 

Head Coach and GM, Mike Reagan is predicting a big offensive season for Tremblay who hails from Quebec City.

 

Team Maroon was led by rookie Dean Gorchynski who scored twice with other goals coming from Jaeden Mercier, Mackenzie Carson, Cole Duppereault and local product Jordan Pfoh.

 

Gorchynski lit it up for the Winnipeg Wild last year in the Manitoba Midget Triple A League by putting up 55 points in 47 games and also spent some time with the Winnipeg Blues of the MJHL.

 

5 different goalies saw action with Team White going with three back stoppers including veteran Cal Schell and rookies Max Hildebrand and Cody Wilson.

 

Last year's back up Jared Thompson and Hunter Lolacher shared the crease for Team Maroon.

 

The Bombers will now start to see how they measure up against every body else as they officially start the pre-season tonight.

 

Laronge will be here to rekindle the rivalry with puck drop at 7:30. The game will feature all rookies.

 

 

 

 

SJHL Announces Mandatory Covid 19 Vaccination Policy

courtesy of sjhl.ca

The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League announces a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy.

The mandatory vaccination policy will apply to Coaches, Players, Scouts, Athletic Therapists and Trainers, Equipment Managers, On-ice Officials, and ice level Off-ice Officials (penalty box attendants; timekeepers, and scorekeepers) and any other individuals who interact directly and on a regular basis with players.

 

1st vaccine to be obtained by September 10th

 

2nd vaccine to be obtained Oct 15th

 

These dates will allow ample time for teams to make sure they can help with arrangements, for any player or staff who haven’t yet received their Covid vaccine.

 

This will also allow time to come up with any modified work for staff or players should that be deemed necessary.

 

Players, coaches, staff that are not fully vaccinated must wear a mask at all times when around other players, coaches, or staff or involved in off-ice team activities.

 

Due to the travel restrictions into Manitoba, coaches, players, and staff, until they are fully vaccinated cannot travel into Manitoba.

 

This measure is in order to consider the majority of the Province of Saskatchewan, and in the interest of the communities of the SJHL, the players, coaches, staff, and volunteers of the teams, and to keep them as safe as possible.

 

The Saskatchewan Jr Hockey League Board of Governors approved this mandatory vaccine policy to provide the best opportunity for the players to complete the 21-22 SJHL season.

 

Spots Filling Up For The Walt

The biggest weekend of the Phantom Lake Golf season is just a few days away and time is running out to sign up for the Walt Cunningham Golf Classic.

 

Local Pro, Kelly McLaren has confirmed that the afternoon draw is completely full, but there are still a few spots for the morning shot-gun at 9:30.

 

It is $120.00 for three days of golf, meals and prizes and don't forget you must pay at the time of sign up.

 

You must sign up by Friday morning if you want to play this year.

 

McLaren says the course is in great shape heading into the weekend. " Brett the Greenskeeper gave us the news last Thursday that number 5 is now open and everybody says it is in great shape. The whole course is in good shape and handled the last down pour very well. We have a lot of out of town people coming and look forward to having a great weekend."

 

102.9 CFAR will have complete results when the event wraps up on Monday.

The Flin Flon Bombers are now  just one day away from Main Camp which will kick off with registration at noon tomorrow.
