The Creighton Kodiaks played their hearts out in front of a capacity crowd at the Creighton Field on Saturday, and unfortunately saw their season come to a close.

The Kodiaks,  who wrapped up their fourth Northern Saskatchewan football title the weekend before met the Shellbrook Aardvarks in the Saskatchewan Provincial Quarter Final.

The Aardvarks stormed on to the field and quickly grabbed a 16 nothing lead on their first two possesions.

Creighton would pull it together when their running back Noah Olivier would run the ball in from the goal line for the Kodiaks first score.

That was short lived,  as the Aardvarks Brandon Dingwall would take the following kick off back to the house to restore the two touchdown lead.

Creighton started to get their offense going and QB, Marcus Kennedy would find Myles Patterson with a 40 yard toss that seemed to fire their team up.

The Kodiaks would score two more touchdowns in the second quarter courtesy of running back Noah Olivier and QB, Marcus Kennedy who scrambled in from the 11 yard line to give Creighton their first lead of the day.

Olivier can play defense too, as he made a nice interception late in the half to give his team one more crack on offense.

After Myles Patterson made the two point convert, Creighton would take a 26 to 24 lead into the locker room at the half.

It was the defense's that would show up for both teams in the second half with just one touch down being scored.

Brandon Dingwall  who was a thorn in the Kodiaks side all day long, caught a 30 yard pass from QB  Jesse Nyberg and  took it in for what ended up being the game winning touchdown.

This was a real back breaker with the Aardvarks facing a third and 20, which they ended up converting.

Creighton did have opportunities to win it including Marcus Kennedy airing out a pass to Carson Straile which just went off his finger tips late in the game.

Straile was wide open with no Shellbrook defenders in sight and you could feel the gasp from the crowd in the dieing minutes.

Shellbrook hung on for the 30 to 26 win.

Saying that, it was a great come back from the Kodiaks who still had a very successful season.

Head Coach, Ryan Karakochuk had this to say after the game on Saturday. " It was 24 to 6 and we had guys hurt all over the field and I wasn't sure who to put in. We found a way to score and built on it and I thought we had them coming out for the second half. I give them credit as they made adjustments and  we just couldn't find a way to score any more points. All our players played their hearts out and I am very proud of them. We fought hard and we  battled til the very  end." 

After a 5 day hiatus the Flin Flon Bombers are ready to get back on the ice tonight against the Yorkton Terriers.

Puck drop is 7:30 tonight at the Whitney Forum.

This will be the second meeting of the season as these two teams squared off at  the Showcase with the Bombers winning 1-0 on a controversial goal.

The puck hit the cross bar and apparently did not cross the goal line but the Bombers were awarded the goal anyway.

These type of things tend to average out as I remember lots of calls going the other way against the Bombers through out the years.

Flin Flon continues to play good hockey and lead the overall SJHL standings with a record of 11-5. They lead the second place Humboldt Broncos by 2 points and the third place Estevan Bruins and Melfort Mustangs by 3.

How ever,  all these teams do have games in hand so the Bombers will need a good effort tonight.

The Bombers are led offensively by Jaxon Martens who is the teams's leading scorer with 17 points in 16 games including 6 goals. 

Martens is making up for the lost season last year and looks to be finding his offensive touch from his Saskatchewan Midget Triple A  days.

His final season saw him put up 38 points in 43 games including 16 goals.

Cole Duperreault, who was also a prolific scorer in Triple A is also in the top 20 in league scoring with 14 points in 16 games. He leads the team in goals with 9.

The veteran,  Jaeden Mercier who is one of 4 players left from their team from two years ago is enjoying a career season with 16 points in 14 games. 

All in all,  Flin Flon can depend on someone different to score every night as they appear to have 4 deep lines.

The Terriers come to town with a 2 game winning streak and are 5-5 in their last 10.

Yorkton's problem has been that they have struggled to score with just 31 goals in their first 13 games. Weyburn is the only team that score' s less.

They are one of the better defensive teams in the league with 34 against, ranking them second best.

No matter what go's down,  you will have the best seat in the house as we will have the broadcast tonight on 102.9 CFAR and flinflononline.com .

It all starts with the Great North GM Coach's Show at 7:15 and drop of the puck at 7:30.

We will hit the air with a pre-game show at 1:45 with the kick off at 2.

The Flin Flon Bombers rolled into Weyburn on Saturday and finally got rewarded with some goals on their Southern road trip.

Flin Flon was trying to bounce back after back to back losses against Notre Dame and Estevan despite out shooting their opponents but not being able to hit the back of the net.

Zac Smith scored his 6th of the season  to open up the scoring late in the first period,   and the Bombers never looked back picking up the 6 to 4 victory.

Cole Duppereault and Jaxon Martens both scored a pair of goals with Jeremi Tremblay adding his 7th for the rest of the offense.

Cal Schell got the win to improve  to 8 and 3 on the season and continues to be one of the league's top goalies with a save % of .924.

Flin Flon once again out shot their opponent 41 to 29 and were 0 for 2 on the PP.

This was a big win as the Bombers remain first overall in the SJHL standings at 11-5. They lead the second place Humboldt Broncos by 2 points, but Humboldt does have 2 games in hand.

The Bombers will get a bit of a break before getting back on the ice Friday to face the Yorkton Terriers at the Whitney Forum.

After a bit of a slow start,  the Terriers are playing some better hockey going 5-5 in their last 10 and have also won their last 2.

This will be their second meeting of the season with the Bombers picking up the win at the Showcase back in September.

This will also be our next broadcast of Creighton Furniture Flin Flon Bomber Hockey with the Great North GM Coach's Show on the air at the usual time of 7:15.

The Norman Northstars are showing everybody that they will be no push over this year in the Manitoba Midget Triple A League.

Norman played extremely well playing both the Winnipeg teams on the road this past weekend.

The Northstars dropped a 7 to 4 game against the Thrashers on Friday before losing in OT 3 to 2 on Saturday.

Yesterday Norman got the game to a shoot out against the Wild, before dropping a 4 to 3 decision.

Leading scorer, Brady Krentz had a productive weekend adding 6 points including 2 goals. He leads the team with 19 points so far this season.

Flin Flon's Magnus Pearson added one assist.

After the weekend,  Norman's record stands at 2-8-2 and they are back on the road again this Friday with a pair of games against Pembina Valley and Interlake.

The Creighton Kodiaks took care of buisiness on Saturday and  had no trouble picking up their second straight Northern Saskatchewan Football title.

The Kodiaks pounced on the Cumberland House Islanders early and piled on the points in a convincing 56 to 12 victory.

Ryan Karkakochuk told us heading into the Northern Final on Saturday that they were going to try to put the game out of reach early and that is exactly what they did.

This game was never in doubt with Creighton taking a 31-0 lead at the half.

Creighton was led offensively by veterans Carson Straile and Noah Olivier who both scored a pair of touchdowns including Olivier converting a nice 40 yard pass from Marcus Kennedy.

Other highlights included Carson Straile running back a 75 yard kick off and Brenden Haley scooping up a fumble and running it back for a touchdown.

Aidan Joa Hall and Jordan Gorrell also scored majors.

There was a great crowd on hand at the Creighton Field that saw the home town Kodiaks successfully defend their Northern Saskatchewan title,  and hoist  the Ralph Pilz trophy for the 4th  time in their history.

The Kodiaks are far from done and will get back to practise tomorrow to prepare for their stiffest test this year as they will officially kick off the Provincial bracket this Saturday on home turf VS Shellbrook.

We will have a special preview with Head Coach Ryan Karakochuk this Thursday at 3:30 with the next edition of The Creighton Kodiak Football Report.

102.9 CFAR and flinflononline.com will also broadcast this Saturday's Provincial game from the Creighton Field with a special pre game show 15 minutes before kick off.

Game time is 2pm, Manitoba time.

Tomorrow is the first step in what could end up being a great fall for the Creighton Kodiaks 6 man football team.

The Kodiaks will have home field advantage for the playoffs,  and will host the Cumberland House Islanders for the Ralph Pilz trophy tomorrow afternoon to decide the Northern Saskatchewan Football Championship.

Creighton was 3-1 in the regular season and remember their one loss was a forfeit game to start the year against SMVS.

The Kodiaks steam rolled their competition in the next three games out scoring their opponents 202 to 34 and are certainly the huge favorite entering tomorrow's game

Saying that , Head Coach Ryan Karkokochuk isn't taking anything for granted. "  You can be driving and fumble the ball on the snap,  a couple of tip passes or an interception and you can behind the 8 ball and you are pressing. Saying that with 6 man football  your best athletes usually come to the fore front. I feel confident that way but we will have to start fast and take care of buisiness."

Cumberland did finish the regular season 2-2.

Tomorrow's kick off will be 2 pm, Manitoba time at the Creighton Field and the weather is supposed to hold up.

The Kodiaks will host Shellbrook the following Saturday despite the outcome of tomorrow's game as they will begin the Provincial bracket.

The Norman Northstars will try to keep the momentum going after picking up their first win on home ice last weekend against the Parkland Rangers.

The Northstars will hit the road this weekend with a pair of games against the Winnipeg Thrashers tonight at 8 and tomorrow at 3:45. The Thashers are 3-5-1 so far this year.

They will also play the Winnipeg Wild on Sunday at 1:45 who are 4-0-1 this year.

Norman is 10th overall at 2-7.

The Flin Flon Bombers were 20 minutes away from picking up their 7th straight win last night.

Flin Flon continued their Southern swing in Estevan and took a 1-0 lead into the third period on a goal by Jaxson Martens who picked up his fourth of the year on the PP.

The Bombers stormed out of the gate and out shot the home town Bruins 18 to 9 in the first period but had a hard time solving Boston Bilous.

Trailing 1-0 in the third,  Estevan rallied around their goaltender and scored a short handed goal early in the period to take the momentum. 

Caelan Fitzpatrick scored the short handed goal with the game winning goal coming from Eric Houk  mid way through the final frame as the Bruins took last night's contest 3 to 1.

Mikol Sartor scored into the empty net with only 41 seconds remaining.

Both goalies were very good with Bilous making 41 saves and the Bombers Cal Schell stopping 28.

The Flin Flon Bomber power play which has been so dominant this year only managed 1 goal on 6 tries and they did give up the short handed goal.

The Bruins were 0 for 2.

After last  night's loss the Bomber record sits at 10-4 and they remain first overall, with a one point lead on division rival Melfort. 

Estevan will improve to 6-3 and are starting to pull away in the Viterra Division.

Flin Flon will enjoy a day off today before resuming the trip in Notre Dame on Friday.

The Flin Flon Bombers have found their groove as they kicked off their Southern road trip with a nice 4 to 2 win in Melville.

This was a tight game all the way through with the Bombers needing an empty net goal to pick up the victory.

The game was tied at 2 after 2 before Cole Vardy would score the eventual game winner 6:12 into the final period.

Vardy continues to have a career season as he scored his 5th goal and leads all SJHL Defensemen with 11 points.

Jaeden Mercier added his 5th into the empty net to seal the deal with less than 30 seconds to go.

The other Bomber goals came from Zak Smith and Kylynn Olafson.

Cal Schell was back between the pipes and he made 34 saves for his 7th win of the year.

Melville got their goals from Jake Spak and Jonathan Krahn and former Bomber Jared Thompson was once again impressive in goal stopping 39 out of 42.

With last night's win the Bombers have won 6 in a row and have taken over sole possesion of first place at 10-3. They are 1 point up on Melfort with the Mustangs having one game in hand.

They will get a big test tonight as the road trip continues in Estevan against the 5-3 Bruins.

Estevan has only played 8 games this year and feature a deep line up with lots of players that have major junior experience as they continue to fill their roster as hosts of this year's Centennial Cup.

It was parent's weekend and the Flin Flon Bombers put on a show taking both games against the Melville Millionaires this weekend, 9 to 3 and 4 to 3 in OT.

On Friday , they were actually down 3 to 1 after 1 but erupted for 8 straight goals, cruising to the 9 to 3 victory.

The top line of Duperreault, Martens and Mercier combined for 12 points with Duperreault scoring a pair to take over the team lead with 7 goals.

Cal Schell back stopped the team to his 6th win with  28 saves.

You knew Melville was going to be much better on Saturday and they were,  competing hard and forcing the game to OT.

It was a night that Brett Wieschorster and Nathan Flodell will never forget as they collected their first goals of the season .

Flodell,  scored a really nice goal as he grabbed a loose puck in the Mill's zone and fired it through Jared Thompson's legs to the crowd's huge elation.

Wiershorster, who is a terrific skater scored his on a nice juicy rebound.

Nathan Gagne led the way with a pair, his 5th and 6th including the OT winner.

After the Mills made a rush down the ice, the Bombers stopped them at the blue line and went down the ice 3 on 1 with Gagne taking the drop pass from Smith and flipped it into the top corner for the B'S 5th straight win and 9th overall.

Max Hildebrand got the start and made 29 saves for his third win.

Melville got their goals from: Jonathan Krahn, Zach Cain and Zach McIntire.

Former Bomber, Jared Thompson got the start against his former team and played extremely well stopping 50 out of 54 Bomber shots.

They will see Melville again on Tuesday, Estevan on Wednesday, Notre Dame on Friday and Weyburn Saturday.

Our next broadcast of Flin Flon Bomber hockey will be on October the 29th when Yorkton comes to town.

The Norman Northstars got a huge confidence boost yesterday as they picked up their first win on home ice and second overall, downing the Parkland Rangers 5 to 2.

All the goals were scored in the third period, with Flin Flon's Magnus Pearson and Nolan Rideout assisting on the game winning goal by Kadin Eetuk.

OCN'S Chechoo Lathlin led the way with a pair of goals.

With the win,  the Northstars improve to 2-7 and move up to tenth overall in the league standings.

They hit the road this weekend with a pair of games against the Winnipeg Thrashers and one game against the Winnipeg Wild.

The Flin Flon Bombers will put their three game winning streak on the line this weekend as they will play host to the Melville Millionaires.

The Bombers are playing some good hockey as they are vaulting up the standings at 7-3,  which is not only good enough for second in the Sherwood but good for second over all too.

Flin Flon is getting great goaltending from Cal Schell who just picked up the SJHL Goalie Of The week and has only given up 1 goal in his last three starts.

Schell is 5-2 with a gaa of 2.29 and a save % of .930. Very good numbers to begin the season.

The Bombers are also scoring by committee this season with only two of their players in the top 20 in league scoring.

Jaeden Mercier sits 15th with 10 points and Jeremi Tremblay who has caught fire in his last three games  sits 17th overall with 9 points.

Melville limps into town with just one win this year but are still second in the Viterra Division with 5 points.

One thing about the SJHL is you can never take your opponent for granted and the Bombers will need to be ready to go against a young hungry Melville team.

Don't forget to join us tonight for the return of Creighton Furniture Bomber Hockey as we will hit the air with the Great North GM Coach's Show at 7:15 and drop of the puck at 7:30.

The Norman Northstars will try to use the momentum from last weekend's first win of the season as they host the Parkland Rangers tomorrow and Sunday.

Norman has a record of 1-6 while Parkland comes to Thompson with a record of 3-3-1.

Brady Krentz,  who scored the OT winner against the Winnipeg Bruins last weekend continues to be a good story leading the Northstars in scoring with 10 points in 7 games.

Games are Saturday at 7:30 and Sunday at 1:30 at the CA Nesbitt Arena.

The Creighton Kodiaks wrapped up the regular season yesterday in the Northern Saskatchewan Football League  with another impressive win as they rolled over Ahtahkakoop 67 to 8.

This game was never in doubt as the Kodiaks stormed on to the field and led 51 to 0 after the first quarter. They made it 57 to 0 at the half.

Head Coach, Ryan Karakochuk was true to his word and gave all his players a chance to play in the second half and the Kodiaks tried a few different things scoring 10 more points for the 67 to 8 win.

Among the highlights was a Carson Straile 50 yard receiving TD and Noah Olivier an interception return for a TD.

Olivier also ran for three more touchdowns, and Myles Patterson scored two touchdowns, one in the air and the other on the  ground.

The Kodiaks will finish the regular season at 3-1 and will host Cumberland House in the Northern Final next Saturday at 2 at the Creighton Field.

With the Kodiaks finishing first in their Conference they will also automatically host the first game of Provincials the following Saturday also at 2 at the Creighton Field.

The Flin Flon Bombers only had to score two goals last night as Cal Schell once again was brilliant in stopping 26 shots as the Bombers went into the Cage and beat the Nipawin Hawks 2 to 1.

Schell is proving it isn't necessarilly how many saves you make but when you make them as he was there with many timely saves in last night's win.

The Hawks only managed 6 shots in the first period, but three of them were great chances. He also stood tall in the last few minutes of the game as the Hawks pulled their goalie and got a late power play but couldn't score.

I counted at least three chances from point blank range that Schell was able to deliver big stops.

Schell improves to 5-2 and his save percentage now sits at a solid .930. Schell was also awarded the SJHL Goalie Of The Week for his great play last week that saw him pick up back to back shut outs.

Cole Vardy and Jeremi Tremblay provided the offense with Vardy scoring just 1:04 into the opening period on the PP.

Vardy fired a beautiful shot over Chase Hamm's right shoulder for his third of the season.

After Rylan Lefebvre tied the game in the second, the red hot Jeremi Tremblay was able to answer with a nice wrister through the legs of Hamm which did stand up as the game winner.

It was a good goaltending match-up both ways with Hamm finishing up with 33 saves.

This was a big win for the Bombers as they have sole possesion of second place in the Sherwood Division at 7-3.  Nipawin will fall to 5 and 3 but still have two games in hand on Flin Flon.

Next up will be the Melville Millionaires who come to town for a pair of games this weekend and we will have Friday's game here on 102.9 CFAR and flinflononline.com with the Great North GM Coach's Show at 7:15.

After a weekend sweep of the Kindersley Klippers the Flin Flon Bombers head to the Cage to battle the Nipawin Hawks tonight.

Flin Flon won Friday 4-0 and got the offense rolling with a 7 to 2 win on Saturday against a depleted Kindersley line up who were only able to dress 11 forwards.

Cal Schell is on a roll and collected his second straight shut out making 26 saves in Friday's game.

Rookie Max Hildebrand started Saturday and picked up his second win of the year with 19 saves.

The offense was spread out with Cole Duppereault, Cole Vardy, Jeremi Tremblay and Jacob Vockler all having multi point weekends.

The Bombers have leap frogged Nipawin for second in the Sherwood at 6-3 while the Hawks are third at 5-2 and do have 2 games in hand. Nipawin had the weekend off.

Melfort continues to lead the division at 7-1-0-1

This will be the second meeting of the season with the Hawks winning in Flin Flon 4 to 1 on September the 28th.

This remains one of the best rivalries in the league and these two teams  always seem to bring the best out of each other.

No matter what go's down you will have the best seat in the house as we

Cole Duperreault scored 17 seconds into their game with Kindersley yesterday at the Showcase in Warman, but that was the only puck they could slip past Brett Sweet as the Klippers snuck past the Bombers 2-1.

This will snap Flin Flon's winning streak at 3 games.

Kindersley responded with two goals later in the first period from Logan Linklater and Brenden Lee which stood up as the game winner.

Max Hildebrand got the start for the Bombers and he stopped 19 out of 21 shots and saw his record slip to 1-1. Brett Sweet was much busier stopping 35 out of 36 and was the key to his team's victory.

Flin Flon finishes the Showcase at 1-1 and their overall record is 4-3, good enough for second in the Sherwood, tied with Nipawin.

Both teams trail Melfort by one point for the division lead.

It took only one goal to decide yesterday's battle between the Flin Flon Bombers and Yorkton Terriers as they hooked up at the SJHL Showcase in Warman.

Jacob Vockler was able to beat Terrier netminder Kael Depape with a shot that appeared to hit the cross bar, but the officials awarded the Bombers the goal and it did stand up as the game winner.

Bomber goalie Cal Schell stood tall and was the difference  stopping all 45 shots fired in his direction and was  certainly the best player on the ice.

The Bombers were only able to muster 28 shots at the Yorkton net.

Schell picked up his second career shut out and his record stands at 3-2 and improved his save % to .915

With the win, Flin Flon has leaped to the top of the Sherwood Division with a record of 4-2 and are tied with the Nipawin Hawks.
