The SJHL's hottest team as of late earned two points Wednesday night - and it wasn't the Bombers. Flin Flon could not break through Melfort's defence, eating a 3-1 loss.

It was by the skin of their teeth, but the Bombers picked up two points over Estevan Saturday, fending off a doomed last-second charge to win 3-2.

One point, but not two - the Bombers sent Friday's game with Estevan into overtime with last-second heroics, but couldn't close out in a 4-3 shootout loss.

The axe has not come down for the Norman Northstars. A possible league reconstruction that would have booted them from their league will not happen and northern Manitoba's sole AAA U18 hockey team will stay on the ice.

Put up one more banner in the Hapnot gym. The junior varsity Kweens basketball team picked up a victory in last weekend’s Zone 11 tournament, putting them into the chase for a provincial title.

The Bombers got back in the win column Saturday in Kindersley, winning 4-2 - and clinching first place in the SJHL's regular season standings to boot.

Flin Flon's sudden slump continued Friday night, taking a 3-2 L in Kindersley despite a hard-fought effort.

The Bombers are now in the midst of unfamiliar territory - a losing streak. Flin Flon took a tough 3-1 loss to Humboldt Thursday night on the road.

It was a rollercoaster, it had deep lows and intense highs, but ultimately, it was a Flin Flon loss. Battlefords gave the Bombers their fourth regulation loss this year in an 8-6 thrill ride.

In a top-of-the-standings heavyweight tilt, score this one as a Flin Flon Bomber TKO. The maroon and white took a 5-3 victory on home ice in a fiery Friday night fight against the Battlefords.
