The good news kept coming for Noah Houle this week. Fresh off of being named the SJHL's defenceman of the month, Houle has committed to an NCAA Division I team for next year.

Flin Flon's Hunter Lee is heading home with a bronze medal from the Pan Am Games.

Flin Flon may have bent Thursday night, but they didn't break, beating rivals Melfort 5-4 in a passionate tilt.

Three Bomber players have received high praise from the SJHL for their play in October. Jacob Vockler, Alexi Sylvestre and Noah Houle each earned monthly awards from the league Nov. 1.

The Flin Flon Bombers, for the time being at least, are at the top of the mountain. The team is ranked as Canada's top junior A squad this week for the first time in over two decades.

Too little, too late - A late surge wasn't enough to keep the Bombers' win streak going, as Melville handed Flin Flon their first regulation loss this season.

Make it a dozen. The Bombers extended their winning streak to 12 with a tight 3-2 win over Melville on parents weekend.

Hunter Lee is heading back to the mat to represent Canada at the upcoming Pan Am Games in Chile.

It was the Hapnot Kweens junior varsity girls’ turn to win a tournament last weekend, becoming the third of the school’s teams to take top spot so far this season.

Nipawin made the Bombers work for it, but Flin Flon came out on top Tuesday night on the road, taking a 3-2 win over the Hawks.
