The Bombers extended their winning streak to seven games Tuesday, beating Melville 3-2 to start a southern road swing.

Total domination from pillar to post. The Bombers took over early on the team's free attendance night and did not let up, winning 8-0 over Nipawin.

When Joey Lies went from being a Flin Flon schoolkid to being a Flin Flon Bomber, he wanted to help his hometown. That commitment has earned him an honour from the SJHL and a donation for the school where he works.

He's back. After a cancer scare over the holidays and a suspension, Bomber forward Matt Egan will be back on the ice for Hockey Night in the North Friday night.

The Hapnot curling Kweens are heading to provincials after successfully defending their Zone 11 title in The Pas last weekend.

Another one just like the other one - the Bombers erased any doubts against the Stars Saturday night, beating the Battlefords 4-2 and earning two straight wins over their closest rivals.

Nice win streak you got there, Battlefords. Be a shame if someone ended it. Flin Flon did just that in a clash of the titans Friday night, beating the Stars in a 5-4 game-of-the-year contender.

Last fall, Flin Flonner Robert Kirschman was given some of the worst health news someone can get - cancer diagnosis, stage four. He's fighting back by training for a triathlon later this year and seeking to raise money to help others.

Hapnot’s senior Kings won the school’s Kopper Crown Classic tournament last weekend, while a former Kween’s new squad took the gold over this year’s Kweens team.

Three straight wins - the Bombers are back on a winning streak, defeating Yorkton 4-0 at home.
