The Flin Flon Bombers will have some key pieces to replace on their blueline with Noah Houle, Anthony Bax and Adam McNutt all aging out and moving on from the program.

The Bombers feel they have one of those pieces in place with the signing of Wylie Smith a 06 defenseman from Breton Alberta.

Smith comes to Flin Flon from the Leduc Oil Kings of the U-18 AAA program of the AEHL.

Smith picked up 22 points in 38 games including 6 goals and is a big body at 6'2 that will bring a strong physical presence with both good offensive and defensive skills.

Head Coach and GM, Mike Reagan had this to say about this signing. “Wylie is a big, physical D that will make life difficult on our opponents. He has a heavy shot and the ability to contribute offensively as shown by his numbers in U18 last year”
