The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League has released the preseason and regular season schedule for the upcoming 2008-09 season. It all begins September 1 with four games, involving seven SJHL clubs. The Flin Flon Bombers host the MJHLÕs Dauphin Kings; while Battlefords travel to Kindersley; Yorkton is in Melville; and Nipawin entertains Melfort. The preseason wraps up on September 9 with the Weyburn Red Wings playing host to the RBC Champion Humboldt Broncos. That sets the stage for the season opening weekend on September 12-14. The SJHLÕs continued commitment to accommodate its players and fans is evident with 64 per cent of all games being played on weekends. Analysis has shown weekend games are more attractive for fans to attend and more time during weekdays allows players to better juggle the numerous aspects of personal life and academics. The SJHL is introducing 18 home stands that feature double headers and there will be six neutral site games, four of which are hosted by Notre Dame and two by La Ronge. The Flin Flon BomberÕs schedule for the 2008-09 season is as follows: Pre Season September 1 Dauphin Kings @ Bombers September 3 La Ronge Ice Wolves @ Bombers September 5 OCN @ Bombers September 6 Bombers @ OCN September 8 Bombers @ Nipawin Hawks Regular Season September 12 Melfort Mustangs @ Bombers September 19 Weyburn Red Wings @ Bombers September 20 Weyburn @ Bombers September 24 Humboldt Broncos @ Bombers September 26 Bombers @ Melfort October 3 Kindersley Klippers @ Bombers October 4 Kindersley @ Bombers October 10 La Ronge @ Bombers October 17 Melville Millionaires @ Bombers October 18 Melville @ Bombers October 21 Bombers @ Nipawin October 22 Bombers @ Notre Dame Hounds October 24 Bombers @ Estevan Bruins October 25 Bombers @ Estevan October 30 Bombers @ La Ronge November 2 Battlefords North Stars @ Bombers November 7 Yorkton Terriers @ Bombers November 8 Yorkton @ Bombers November 12 Bombers @ Melfort November 13 Bombers @ Humboldt November 15 Notre Dame @ Bombers November 21 Bombers @ Nipawin November 22 Bombers @ Humboldt November 25 Humboldt @ Bombers November 28 Estevan @ Bombers November 29 Estevan @ Bombers December 2 Nipawin @ Bombers December 5 Bombers @ Melville December 6 Bombers @ Yorkton December 7 Bombers @ Humboldt December 10 Battlefords @ Bombers December 12 Melfort @ Bombers December 13 Bombers @ Melfort December 16 Bombers @ La Ronge December 17 Bombers @ Battlefords December 19 Bombers @ Kindersley December 20 Bombers @ Kindersley January 2 Bombers @ La Ronge January 3 Notre Dame @ Bombers January 6 Bombers @ Yorkton January 7 Bombers @ Melville January 16 La Ronge @ Bombers January 17 La Ronge @ Bombers January 20 Bombers @ Nipawin January 21 Bombers @ Notre Dame January 23 Bombers @ Weyburn January 24 Bombers @ Weyburn January 27 Nipawin @ Bombers January 30 Humboldt @ Bombers February 5 Bombers @ Battlefords February 6 Bombers @ Battlefords February 8 Nipawin @ Bombers February 13 Bombers @ La Ronge February 14 La Ronge @ Bombers February 17 Melfort @ Bombers February 18 Battlefords @ Bombers
