Both of the Bombers’ “Twin Towers” up front will be playing college hockey next season.

With play over and the ice torn out of the Whitney Forum, work is already underway on the next season of Flin Flon Bomber hockey.

SJHL teams, including the Bombers, will pick their next crop of prospects later this week.

The Lee boys are back up to their old tricks again. Carson and Hunter Lee were back on the mat at a national meet late last month, wrestling against stiff competition.

Creighton Kodiak football star Noah Olivier took part in a provincial showcase game last weekend, being part of a win for Team North.

The magic ran out for the Bombers Friday night, losing to Pickering and being eliminated from the Centennial Cup in a 3-2 double overtime heartbreaker.

There may be no place like home for the Flin Flon Bombers, but a large group of travelling fans has tried to give the Bombers a home ice advantage during the Centennial Cup.

Another honour is on the way for Bomber defenceman Xavier Lapointe. The Quebec City native has been named the best defenceman at the Centennial Cup.

Every season, the Whitney Forum hosts up to 40 Bomber home games a year. Those games don’t take place without the effort of several dedicated volunteers who take on key roles with the club.

Four words can best describe the Bombers' Friday afternoon Centennial Cup game - win or go home. Flin Flon's next opponent at nationals will be the OJHL champion Pickering Panthers.
