That had to feel good. The Bombers found their mojo again Friday, beating rivals La Ronge 6-4 in their final meeting this year.

The latest edition of the Val and Ivor Hedman Centaloppet has come and gone at the Flin Flon Ski Club, with the most prized silverware going to a trio of young skiers.

The Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation (PBCN) Selects played their last three games of the regular season, taking a victory over a close rival in the standings and keeping their first-round bye.

Hapnot and Frontier Collegiate each won senior Zone 11 titles on the parquet court last week, punching their tickets to basketball provincials later this month.

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.
