After a 6 day break the Flin Flon Bombers will get back on the ice when they host the Yorkton Terriers tomorrow night at the Whitney Forum.
After a tough October, the Bombers are really rolling with six straight wins including back to back wins over the Nipawin Hawks last weekend.
Saying that, some tough news for the club as leading scorer Carter Anderson has left the Bombers to join the Chilliwack Chiefs of the BCHL.
Flin Flon will miss Anderson's 14 goals including 7 on the powerplay, but this may be an opportunity for some of the other players to step up. I am sure Head Coach and GM Mike Reagan won't sit still, and will no doubt be looking to add another player that may be able to come in and fill that void.
I will certainly miss watching Carter play and he is certainly one of the most explosive skaters I have seen in a long time. I wish him the best of luck in Chiliwack.
The Bombers still have plenty of talented forwards that can find the back of the net including Keefe Gruener, Leighton Carruthers, Anthony Piccininno, Ryder Ringor, Koen Senft and Carter Cormier.
Flin Flon will be put to the test tomorrow as they will face a Yorkton team that has already beaten them twice including a 3 to 0 shutout at the Whitney Forum back on October the 22nd.
The Terriers are back on the ice tonight in Nipawin after a 5 day break, as their game against Weyburn this past Tuesday was postponed due to an ice plant problem.
This is a huge game in the standings with the Terriers leading the Bombers by 1 point for fourth overall with a game in hand. The Terriers also come in to town on a roll and are 8 -2 in their last 10 games.
Yorkton may have the deepest group of offensive forwards in the league and are led by Captain Jaron Desnoyers who is second in overall scoring with 28 points in 20 games.
The Terriers also have some rookies that are having great years with 3 rookies all in the top 15 of rookie scoring including Vinay Junek, Thomas Runak and Tyler Palin.
This will be a great test and game for Flin Flon and you can catch all the action on 102.9 CFAR and flinflononline.com with the Great North GM Coach's Show at 7:10 and drop of the puck for Creighton Furniture at 7:30.
