Harvey Bolton knows puck. The longtime Flin Flon hockey official has been announced as a new member of the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame.

The Bombers may not have won the big one this season, but the team is still on solid financial footing. Flin Flon’s junior A hockey club turned a tidy profit last season and saw ticket sales climb.

Five more graduating players from this year’s Flin Flon Bombers will continue playing university hockey next season, bringing the team’s total of advancing players to eight.

A club volleyball team representing northern Manitoba talent, including many players from Hapnot Collegiate, has taken the court by storm at several southern tournaments.

Bomber head coach and general manager Mike Reagan has been honoured as this year's top Canadian junior A coach.

Following a spectacular regular season and a gutwrenching playoff loss, the Bombers handed out their team hardware, honouring several players for their efforts this year.

Hapnot’s varsity lacrosse team made their program debut last weekend, playing four games on Winnipeg-area fields against local schools.

It's over. The Bombers could not complete the comeback Tuesday night, losing Game 6 to Melfort 4-1 and losing the SJHL title for the third straight season.

We have a series. The Bombers battled their way into a Game 6 in Melfort next week, beating the Mustangs 5-2 in a critical Game 5.

Reports of the Flin Flon Bombers' demise were greatly exaggerated. The maroon and white will live to play another game, picking up an overtime 4-3 W in a win-or-go-home Game 4 on the road against Melfort.
