The Bombers will be well represented at the upcoming SJHL/MJHL Showcase. A total of 10 players, as well as two off-ice staff members, will be heading to Winnipeg later this month.

Hapnot Collegiate and Creighton Community School hosted a rare double exhibition basketball game shortly before the holiday break. Both schools’ senior basketball teams faced off, both to stay sharp and for a good cause.

La Ronge battled Flin Flon hard Tuesday night but the Bombers got the last laugh, beating them for the third straight game and earning two big points in their first game of 2023.
