The Flin Flon Bombers have 7 more games remaining in the regular season as they will try to take down the Hawks and Broncos Tuesday and Wedensday.
The Hawks have been on some kind of a roll vaulting up the standings and over taking the Bombers and Ice Wolves for third. The Hawks have 64 points, the Ice Wolves 62 and Bombers 57. All 3 teams have 7 games remaining.
Flin Flon will play Nipawin 2 more times and Laronge once more. It is not out of the realm of possibility that the Bombers could still finish third but will have to go on quite the tear and would probabaley have to run the table and hope for both the Hawks and Wolves to tumble. That doesn't look like it will happen, as the Hawks are 13-0-2-0 and have not lost a game in regulation so far in 2012. Laronge is starting to get it together and are 4-0-1-1 in their last 6..
The Bombers are 2-2 against Nipawin this year with both wins coming at The Whitney Forum. Flin Flon's record against the Bauer is 12-8-1-4 very respectible.
The Bombers will try to shake off a 7-1 set back in Yorkton on Wednesday and will have a couple faces back in the line up. Mike Reagan confirmed to me that Heibert and Young will both play in Nipawin Wednesday with Mysiorek's and Balaski's status still not known.
I think the Bombers need to concentrate more on just winning some games and getting on a roll for the playoffs instead of moving up the standings. We have seen 5th place teams win this league before. Remember Laronge from 2 years ago. Having some healtyh bodies will definitely help. The Bombers looked tired in Yorkton Wednesday and only having one extra forward started to get to them especially after emptying the tank in a thrilling over time win in Melville the night before. Most exciting game I have seen this year.
A busy week for CFAR 590 as we will broadcast both games from Nipawin and Humboldt Tuesday and Wednesday and the home broadcast Saturday when Battleford comes to town.
All 3 games begin at 7:15 with The Murray Dunn Coach's Show .
Thanks for reading and don't give up on this team.
The Flin Flon Bombers saw their winless streak hit 8 as they dropped a pair of games to the front running Humboldt Broncos this past weekend.
The Broncos look very good and now have points in 21 straight games with wins of 5-2 and 7-2 Friday and Saturday night. The Bombers got into penalty trouble Friday giving up 3 power play goals. It is a 2-2 game if you take away the power plays. Penner (19) and Weldon (9) scored for Flin Flon in a losing cause.
The Broncos scored a quick short handed goal on Saturday and never looked back . It was 2-1 Humboldt after 1 and Flin Flon looked like thay may have a chance, but the Broncos reeled off 5 more goals in the second to quickly change that. Bomber goal scorers Litke (9) and Weldon (10). Weldon is the first Bomber defenseman to hit double figures for goals.
A scary moment Saturday as Jay Young went down in the second period looking like he may have re-injured his hand. The Bombers are still missing Heibert, Mysiorek and Balaski. Young's staus not known and hopefully he won't be out long. The Bombers need to get healthy a.s.a.p. as they are losing ground to both Nipawin and Laronge and have too many talented players out of the line up.
Nipawin won again last night which means Flin Flon is now 5 points behind for third with 10 games remaining. The Bombers and Hawks will play each other 2 more times this season. Flin Flon remains 3 points behind Laronge with 1 more meeting against the Ice Wolves on Friday February the 17th at the Whitney Forum.
The Bomber record stands at : 23-17-3-6 as they get set for their final 2 regular season games against the Sherwood.
In Melville Tuesday (which is where the Bombers last won), and Yorkton on Wedensday. The Bombers only have 3 points in the 6 meetings with both these teams this season and can not afford to come home empty handed.
Flin Flon's big gunners continue to struggle with Blair,McCombie , Storzuk and Young all held off the score sheet this weekend. Penner has been the Bombers most consistant forward the past few games.
Both games from this road trip will be on CFAR-590 with The Murray Dunn Coach's Show starting at 7:15.
Flin Flon's record against the Sherwood this season: 11-9-9-2
They are 9-1-11-4 on the road over all.
Next home game is : Friday February the 10th against The Battlefords.
The Flin Flon Bombers are winless in their last 6 games and it will not get any easier with the SJHL'S best team in town this weekend. The Humboldt Broncos come to town with points in their last 19 games and sporting the league's best record at 34-10-1-3. The Broncos have not lost in regulation since November 18th.
Flin Flon is one of the few teams in the league who does have a winning record against the Broncos with 5 out of a possible 6 points this season. Flin Flon, who are struggling are still in a pretty good position with 55 points and only 1 point behind Laronge for third in the conference and one more meeting between the two teams on February 17th at the Whitney Forum.
Despite Flin Flon's recent struggles - they are still playing very well against Bauer teams with a record of 12-6-1. The Bombers have been hit pretty hard by injuries all season and still have Mysiorek, Balaski, and Hiebert out of the line up. Reagan expects Justin Schoffer back in the line up tonight.
Riley Storzuk looks like he has found his scoring touch again picking up 6 goals in his last 7 games including a hat-trick against Laronge last Saturday. His 19th of the season which he scored against Yorkton on Wedensday was one of the nicest individual efforts I have seen in a long time. No question one of the nicest plays I have seen this season. This guy is the real deal who is still in the league top 20 scorers despite missing 11 games this season.
Andy Desautels is still looking for his first win of 2012 and is a victim of some pretty bad luck right now . Desautels made some great saves against Yorkton on Wedensday but unfortunately gave up a bad rebound for the overtime winner. His record is not at all indicative of his play right now.
Mike Reagan who was on the Flin Flon Bomber Report earlier today said no-one is hitting the panic button just yet. The Bombers are only 1 point out of third and still have 9 games remaining within their conference. Reagan also mentioned he likes his team very much and no-one is giving up.
One thing is for sure a win against the Broncos this weekend would go a long way in the confidence department.
The Bombers played hard and probably deserved better than 1 point against Laronge this past weekend but now find themselves in 5th spot in the Bauer. The Ice Wolves grabbed 4 points from Flin Flon and sit in third with 56 points. The surging Nipawin Hawks beat Yorkton 4-1 last night and have grabbed 4th spot with 55 points.
The Bombers do have 1 game in hand on Laronge and will play host to the Wolves one more time on February 17th. Flin Flon and Nipawin have both played 46 games and meet 2 more times. The Hawks host the Bombers on February 7th and Nipawin makes their way to the Whitney Forum for the final game of the regular season on February the 21st.
Flin Flon will host Yorkton tonight with the Terriers leading the season series 1-0-0-1 and Humboldt this Friday and Saturday. The Bombers have played Humboldt very well taking 5 out of a possible 6 points so far. The Broncos do come to town on quite the roll just having their 17 game winning stareak snapped against Melfort in a shoot out this past weekend. Matter of fact the last time the Broncos lost a game in regulation was November the 18th 4-1 to Yorkton. They have picked up points in 19 straight games.
The Bombers have 12 games remaining and if they want to stay out of the Survivor Series will realistically need to win at least 8 games to give them a chance. We could have a good indication how they will finish after this week's homestand.

Both the Flin Flon Bombers and Laronge Ice Wolves have identical 4-4-0-2 records in their last 10 games and will not have to scoreboard watch this weekend. The much awaited home and home series will start tonight at the Whitney Forum.
The Bombers will play just their second home game of 2012 and are fresh off a 1-3 southern road trip last weekend. The Bombers are always tough at the Whitney Forum with a record of 14-4-1-1 this season. Both of Flin Flon's wins against Laronge also came back at the Forum in October.
The Bombers are preaching secondary scoring this season and will have to start getting some if they want to finish at least third. The Bomber big guns were pretty quiet on the last trip. McCombie and Blair had no goals. Young, Storzuk, and Penner only tallied once. No word if and when Balaski will be back and no doubt his team is missing him. Balaski is the Bombers best face off man and they really miss him in those key draws late in games. The bright spot offensively came from Jesse Mysiorek who scored 4 goals including a hat-trick against Notre-Dame on Thursday.
The Bombers have 14 games remaining with 11 still to play against the Bauer Conference. 3 against Laronge, 3 with Humboldt, 2 with Nipawin , 2 agains the Battlefords and 1 more in Melfort. So the Bombers will definitely have complete control of their own destiny. I know the goal of all the teams will be to try and stay out of 4th and 5th and avoid the Survivor Series. I think the key for Flin Flon will be to just be playing good hockey going into the playoffs and hopefully be injury free. They need to get some confidence against Laronge who has knocked them out of the playoffs the past 2 seasons. Right now, it looks like they are tentative and are making way too many mistakes to compete in games head to head.
The Bombers will need to change that and if they are going to hold on to third spot need to get it in gear this weekend. Don't forget 7:30 tonight in Flin Flon and back at the Mel Hegland Uniplex at 7:30 tomorrow broadcast on CFAR-590 with the Murray Dunn coach's show at 7:15. Both these teams will be going hard at each other with playoff intensity for sure. I am going to go out on a limb and say the best 2 games of the season.
The Flin Flon Bombers southern road swing is over. After dropping a 3-0 decision to the Estevan Bruins on Sunday night, the Bombers also lost to the Bruins 4-2 Saturday, 5-4 to Notre Dame Thursday. The only win of the trip came in Melville on Wedensday. The Bombers almost let that one get away by giving up a short handed goal with just over a minute to go but did pull it out in the shoot-out 5-4. Riley Storzuk scored the winner.
After the weekend the Bomber record stands at 23-14-2-5 good for 53 points still barely holding on to third place in the Bauer conference. That could change tonight with Laronge in the Battlefords and the Ice Wolves only 1 point behind Flin Flon for third. The team to watch right now is Nipawin who have quietly crept to within 3 points of third by going 8-2 in their last 10.
Flin Flon, Laronge and, the Battlefords have all been under .500 in their last 10 and are in January slumps giving The Hawks a real chance to get back in it.
The Bombers still have 11 games left against the Bauer conference including a big home and home series with Laronge this weekend. Friday at the Whitney Forum and back in Laronge for the return matchup on Saturday. The Bombers no doubt have not forgot about that 8-1 beating on January 4th and will have to be a lot better this weekend or could find themselves in 5th if they don't start playing better.
The Bomber record in The Bauer is 12-5-1-3 and have been able to rally for a big win any time thay have needed one so far this season. The Bombers are 2-2-1 against Laronge with both of Flin Flon's wins coming at home back in early October. The Ice Wolves really have taken it to Flin Flon since then and are always more dangerous with Marc Andre Carre and Byron Sorensen back in the line up.
upcoming broadcasts on CFAR-590.
Jan 21st in Laronge
Jan 28th vs Humboldt
Jan 31st in Melville
Feb 1st in Yorkton
Thanks for reading and hope to see you at both rinks this weekend which will have a definite play off feel to them.
The Flin Flon Bombers sit third in the Bauer Conference battling back and forth with Laronge and if they have any hope of finishing second; they need to get at least 3 wins on this trip.
It won't be easy with 4 games in 5 nights starting Wedensday in Melville, Thursday in Notre Dame, plus Saturday and Sunday in Esteven at the beautiful Spectra Place.
The Mills just got Sean Aschim back from the dub and are always tough on home ice. I am really looking forward to seeing the Mills new rink, but kind of disapointed at the same time. I was a fan of the old stadium and their rink feels so Saskatchewan to me. The Bombers and Notre Dame will square off for the 5th time this year with Flin Flon winning the previous 4 meetings, including a tough 2-1 game this past Saturday at the Forum. The Bombers are 2-0 against Estevan winning their 2 home games on December the 9th and 10th.
The Bombers could have a different look with today being the January 10th trade deadline. I touched base with Mike Reagan earlier today and he told me this is one of the quietist deadlines he has ever seen. Lots of teams are looking; but not willing to really part with any thing. There seems to be too many buyers and not enough sellers this year. Obviously that could change with plenty of time to go. Things tend to heat up more in the evening. I also asked Reagan about Dylan Balaski who left the ice in Saturday's game in rough shape. Mike mentioned that Dylan is doing quite well and they will continue to monitor his situation.
The Bombers are 10-6-1-2 against the Sherwood this year and are a respectible 8-7-1-4 on the road. The Bombers also have 4 players in the top 20 SJHL scorers with Dillon McCombie the team leader in goals (24) and points (46).
It was tough to see Balaski go down on Saturday as he has fought so hard to stay healthy this season after missing all of last year. The Bombers for the first time in a long time have been able to dress a full line up so far in 2012 as Storzuk and Young are both back in the line up after lenghthy injuries.
All 4 games this week will be on CFAR 590 with Wedensday's game against Melville starting at 7:30, 8:00 from Notre Dame Thursday and 7:30 and 6:00 from Estevan Saturday and Sunday.
If the Bombers make any moves, I will have all the details on the road trip so plan to listen in each night for all the details and of course all the great action.
The Flin Flon Bombers are winless to open 2012 after losing 4-3 to The Battlefords in a shoot out and 8-1 to Laronge Tuesday and Wedensday.
The Bombers weathered the storm well after rolling into The Battlefords December the 15th and winning 9-1. You knew the Stars were going to be ready after being embarrased in their own rink and came out flying. After killing a early power play on some strong goal tending by Devin Buffalo the Bombers scored the first goal with Dillon McCombie scoring his team leading 23rd of the season. The two teams would battle back and forth all night with Flin Flon tying up the game at 14:57 of the third period. Konrad Litke finished off a fine play by Dylan Balaski who literally made something happen out of nothing.
Buffalo made some fine saves during over time giving his team a chance to win it in the shoot out. Flin Flon hit 2 goal posts and Blake Tatchell scored the only goal as The North-Stars found a way to finally beat The Bombers at the Civic Centre. The other Bomber goal was scored by David Roper.
The next night it was a different story with Laronge burying Flin Flon 8-1. It was a close first period with Laronge heading to the locker room up 2-1. The Bombers scored a late first period goal with Jay Young scoring his 15th of the season with only 11 seconds left . That was as close as the Bombers would get as the Ice Wolves would score 6 unanswered to move to within 1 point of Flin Flon for third. It was a big point for Flin Flon the night before.
Flin Flon is 21-11-2-5 and Laronge is 22-13-4 with 3 more meetings this season including a home and home weekend January the 20th and 21st. Mike Reagan who was on the CFAR 590 post game show mentioned he is very much looking forward to that weekend after the extra celebrating by the Ice Wolves who didn't mind rubbing it in. The Bombers have been out scored 14-2 in the 2 games at The Mel Hegland Uniplex this season and home ice will be huge if these 2 teams meet in the play offs this season. It looks like this has a very good chance of happening for the third straight year.
The Bombers will finally play a home game this year as Notre Dame makes their final visit to The Whitney Forum this Saturday. We will have the broadcast with The Murray Dunn Coach's show at 7:15 and play by play at 7:30.
The Bombers will hit the road again next week with 4 games in 5 nights all against the south starting Wedensday in Melville, Thursday in Notre Dame and Saturday and Sunday at beautiful Spectra Place in Esteven. All 4 games are on CFAR 590.
btw I was impressed with the play of Jeff Stallard who came in relief of Devin Buffalo in the Laronge game on Wedensday and looked very good and poised as he made a number of good saves to keep it respectable. Stallard was backing up Buffalo with The Bombers other goaltender Andy Desautels getting called up to the Western leaugue with Everett. Mike Reagan says he will be back in a Bomber uniform very soon and this move is just temporary.
See you at the rink this weekend and Happy New Year
The Flin Flon Bombers continue to score lots of goals and win hockey games even without Jay Young and Riley Storzuk in the line-up. After a slow start to the road trip last Wedensday in Nipawin , the Bombers grabbed 5 out of a possible 6 points including a hard fought 6-5 win in Kindersley on Sunday.
Dillan McCombie picked up his second hat-trick of the week and was awarded the SJHL player of the week and now leads the team with 22 goals. Dylan Balaski had a great week scoring 4 more goals to hit 16. McCombie, Balaski, Blair, Storzuk, and Penner all remain in the top 20 in league scoring.
In my opinion, Mike Reagan should be given some very strong consideration for coach of the year. Reagan lost his top 7 scorers from last season, not to mention both his goaltenders and some pretty good defensemen. But has still found ways to win games. At one point the Bombers had 7 regulars out of the line up but still continue to be one of the big surprises in the league.
Reagan says his team should be healthy when they suit up for their next action in 2012. The January 10th deadline is quickly approaching and Reagan mentioned he would like to add one more forward if he could. I am thinking it will most likely be out of province with so many teams still in the hunt. Flin Flon has scored 145 goals so far this season which has them second in the Bauer and third overall in goals scored.
The Bombers will get ready for their annual skills competition on December the 30th and will not play another game till January the 3rd and 4th in Battleford and Laronge. Both games will be broadcast on CFAR 590 by the way. The Bombers first home game of 2012 is Saturday January the 7th.
The Flin Flon Bombers will put their 3 game winning streak on the line tonight when they kick off 4 games in 5 nights on the road tonight in Nipawin. The Bombers were 3-0 at home this past week out scoring their opponents 20- 9. Flin Flon is 1 point behind Laronge for third with 3 games in hand.
Mike Reagan who was my special guest on The Norman Sports Line program yesterday was very upbeat about not only grabbing third spot before Xmas but possibly second as well. Mike also mentioned that he is starting to get a lot healthier with Kyle Oleniuk back in the line up tonight and James McNaulty and Jay Young back very soon. There are lots of reasons the Bombers have had a very successful season but the biggest in my opinion is their play within the division. Flin Flon is 11-3-2-1 in the Bauer including a 2-1 record against Nipawin who have not been the same team since the show case. Nipawin is always tough at the Cage and their win against Flin Flon came there back on September 17th 6-2.
The Bombers will take on The Battlefords tomorrow and close out 2011 in Kindersley Saturday and Sunday. I am sure that recently acquired Jesse Mysiorek is looking forward to the 2 games in Kindersley against his former team this weekend. Mysiorek has 7 points since he has joined the Bombers and has 14 goals on the season with 2 so far in Flin Flon.
We will have tonight's game from Nipawin on CFAR 590 with the coach's show at 7:15 and play by play at 7:30. This will be our final broadcast of 2011.
Next home game for Flin Flon is not till Saturday January the 7th when Notre Dame comes to town.
CFAR will also broadcast every road game after xmas including every Saturday home game.
Even without Riley Storzuk and Jay Young, the Bombers managed to score 10 times picking their 17th win of the season in a 10-4 win last night against the Melfort Mustangs. Several Bombers had big nights including Dylan Mcnabb and Brett Penner who both scored 2 goals. Konrad Litke picked up his first career SJHL hat-trick as the Bombers were able to avenge their 6-1 loss in Melfort last Wedensday.
Jesse Mysiorek scored his first as a Bomber and added 3 helpers with Balaski and Blair both rounding out the scoring.
The Bombers improve to 11-4-1-1 at home and are also 10-3-3 against the Bauer Conference.
You really have to give the Bombers credit for being able to put wins together despite having seven regulars out of the line up. Mike Reagan was optimistic that he would start getting some healthy bodies back in the line up very soon. David Roper who was serving a suspension will be back in the line up this weekend with Riley Storzuk expected to be back for next weeks big road trip. Mcnulty and Heibert should be back next week as well.
Make sure you are at the rink this weekend as the Bombers will play their last two home games of 2011. The Estevan Bruins are coming to town Friday and Saturday. Flin Flon heads out for a big road trip to close out the year starting Wednesday December the 14th in Nipawin, Thursday in Battleford and Saturday -Sunday; closing things out in Kindersley.
The Flin Flon Bombers five game home stand continues tonight with the Melfort Mustangs coming to town for the second time this season. The Bombers have beaten the 'Stangs twice this season including a hard fought 2-1 ot win November 2nd. Even though the Mustangs have only four wins on the season this is the SJHL - anybody can beat anybody on a given day.
A lot of Flin Flon's success can be attributed to their great record against the Bauer Conference at 7-1-1-1. The Bombers have also played well away from the Whitney Forum at 6-3-1-1.
The Bombers fresh off a 4-3 victory against Nipawin this past Saturday was a very quick hard hitting affair that saw timely goals from Dylan Balaski and Dillon McCombie who both continue to sit in the league top 20 in scoring. McCombie's game winner was one of the niftiest goals I have seen with him banking it in off the end boards, and picking up his own rebound with a nice back hander just under the bar. Is it me or does he seem to score a lot of highlight reel goals?
The Bombers will welcome new comer Kyle Oleniuk to the line up tonight. He had 64 points with Moose Jaw in the Saskatchwan MIdget Triple A league. He was traded from Salmon Arm of the BCHL.
Entering play tonight the Bombers sit third in the Bauer with 29 points; 1 behind Humboldt for second and five points behind Battleford for first.
The Bomber home stand will continue this weekend when the high flying Melville Millionares come to town for games Friday and Saturday. Saturday's game will be broadcast on CFAR 590.
Don't forget CFAR 590 is the corporate sponsor for tonight so make sure you bring mitts, jackets, touques,scarves and anything for 5-13 year olds to give to Afghanistan refugees. You will have a chance to win a tv from Sears.
The Yorkton Terriers came into The Whitney Forum Friday and looked good taking down the Bombers 4-1. Brent Struble opened the scoring with a nice deke on Devin Bufalo to give the Terriers a 1-0 lead. Kevin Cann would then score a power play goal which would stand up as the game winner.
Riley Storzuk would score the only Bomber goal late in the first period, his 13th of the season. The Terriers would score insurance goals in both the second and third periods.The Bombers outshot the Terriers 35-32 and finished up 0 for 5 on the power play.
I was impressed with the speed of both teams and I have to give credit where credit is due. Terrier goaltender Warren Shymko was impressive and I thought he was the best player on the ice.The Bombers certainly had their chances.
The Bombers will now focus their attention on The Battleford North-Stars and Humboldt Broncos with a 2 game road trip Tuesday and Wedensday. The last meetings with both these clubs went to shoot-outs, with the Bombers winning in Humboldt and losing to Battleford at home. Both were very entertaining games and I am looking forward to broadcasting both of them.
After the weekend the Bombers record stands at: 11-6-2- 24 points and tied with both Humboldt and Laronge for third spot in The Bauer just 2 points behind Nipawin. Once again The SJHL is all about parity.Flin Flon's home record stands at 6-3-1 and they are 5-1-1 against Bauer Conference opponents.The Bombers also have 4 players in the top 20 in league scoring including Riley Storzuk who sits third overall with 34 points including 13 goals.
Don't forget to pick up tickets for ladies night this Thursday. Friday is a holiday due to Rememberance day and tickets are available at the Bomber office.
The Bombers will return home for another Bauer Conference opponent Saturday when Nipawin comes to town for the first time.
All 3 games this week will be broadcast on CFAR 590 with The Murray Dunn Coach's show at 7:15 and play by play at 7:30.
The Flin Flon Bombers were taken to the limit in a pair of games against Notre Dame and the Battlefords this past weekend. The Bombers quickly jumped out to a 3-0 lead after 1 period on Saturday only to see The Hounds fight back and tie up the game with a couple of third period goals. Riley Storzuk would score the game winner with only 10 seconds remaining as the Bombers were able to snap a 2 game losing streak. Other goal scorers were: Mcnabb (his 2nd), Balaski (6), Weldon(5) and Blair(9).
The Bombers would face off against the Bauer Conference leading Battleford North-Stars in a rare Sunday game at home. The Stars are very quick and Blake Tatchell was very impressive scoring the hat-trick as the Stars beat the Bombers in the shoot-out 5-4. Storzuk in my opinion is the MVP of this league so far as he would score a hat-trick , including the tieing goal with 45 seconds left sending the game to over-time. Storzuk had 7 points in 2 games and now sits tied with Esteven's Dylan Smith for The SJHL scoring lead with 31 points.
The Bomber record stands at 10-5-2, good for 22 points - just 1 point behind Nipawin for second and 7 behind the Battlefords for top spot with 2 games in hand. The Bombers have also scored 74 goals as a team and that is the second most in the conference behind Humboldt's 78. The Bombers also have 5 players in the top 20 in scoring and that is the first time in the 13 years I have been covering this team I remember this happening this far into the season.
The Bombers head to Melfort Wedensday to face the Mustangs with all the action on CFAR-590 including the Murray Dunn Coach's show at 8:15 and play by play at 8:30. This will be our last broadcast starting at 8pm with the time change this weekend. The Bomber's next home action is this Friday when the Yorkton Terriers come to town.
After a week off the Flin Flon Bombers will be back in action this weekend at the Whitney Forum. The Notre Dame Hounds come to town Saturday ( 6-7-1) 5th in the Sherwood. Flin Flon has already beaten Notre Dame twice this season including a 5-1 win at the Showcase. The Hounds feature one of the leagues top puck stoppers in Ty Reichenbach who is always capable of stealing a game himself.
Sunday should be very interesting with the top team in the Bauer Conference The Battleford North Stars coming to town. The Stars are sitting at (12-4-1) and have a 4 point lead on Nipawin and 6 up on the Bombers. This will be the first meeting since the Bombers eliminated the Stars from the Survivor Series last spring. The Stars are being led by a healthy Blake Tatchell who is leading his team with 23 points and is 7th in overall league scoring.
The Bombers continue to have 5 players in the top 20 in scoring and are being led by the amazing play of Riley Storzuk who has 24 points and scoring well over a point per game.
Don't forget to get your tickets for The Bombers ladies night coming up Thursday November the 10th. The night will feature comedian Kelly Taylor. Tickets availible at The Bomber office at 687-4404.
Saturday's game broadcast on CFAR-590 with The Murray Dunn pre-game show at 7:15 and play by play at 7:30.
