The Flin Flon Bombers ranked seventh in the SJHL heading into the weekend. Here's how they compare to the rest of the league: 1. Humboldt Broncos Ð Even though they did falter this week, the Broncos are still the top team in the SJHL at this moment, but the gap between first and second has shrunk considerably. 2. Estevan Bruins Ð After going through a rough patch, the Bruins have won their last four and now have first place Yorkton in their sights as they are three points back with four games in hand. 3. Yorkton Terriers Ð The Terriers have won five games on their nine game road trip with that trip ending Tuesday. Staying on top of the Sherwood Conference after that trip is a huge plus to Trent Cassan's group. 4. La Ronge Ice Wolves Ð Winning their two games this week while seeing Humboldt and Melfort lose all of their games have all of a sudden turned a two way race in the Bauer Conference to a three way one. 5. Weyburn Red Wings Ð The goaltending of Mitch Kilgore over the past two weeks have lifted this team up the power rankings and up the Sherwood Conference ladder. Like La Ronge, the Wings are starting to make it a three team race in the conference. 6. Melfort Mustangs Ð Darrell Mann's team goes into the week having lost four in a row, but they get ready to start a four game homestand. 7. Flin Flon Bombers Ð The Bombers are spinning their wheels right now and can't get on a roll. That being said, they aren't on a slide either. 8. Battlefords Stars Ð Ken Pearson has tinkered with his roster all season long looking for that right mix. Its taken a while and it seems as if the team takes two steps forward and one step back, but they are headed in the right direction. When will they trade one of their goalies and to who? 9. Kindersley Klippers Ð To quote Paul Simon, this team is "slip slidin away". The Klippers are a better team than their record shows, but something has gone missing the past couple of weeks. 10. Melville Millionaires Ð Have the Millionaires figured it out or was last week just a good week? The comeback win over Melfort may be a huge turning point for this squad. 11. Notre Dame Hounds Ð This team has many returnees from last year and should be playing better hockey. Once they start doing that, look out? Do they need to trade one of their good goalies for a proven scorer? 12. Nipawin Hawks Ð The good news is the Hawks broke an 8 game losing streak with a win over Kindersley. The bad news is they still come in last this week.
