Local product Ryder Mucha was able to score his first ever tw  SJHL goals as the Flin Flon Bombers filled the back of the net,  and took it to the Nipawin Hawks 8 to 2 last night at the Whitney Forum.

 

It must of been a big weight off of Mucha's shoulders as he has had countless chances but for what ever reason hasn't been  able to bury. This should be great for his confidence.

 

The other Bomber goals came from Anthony Piccininno(5), Leo Seitz(3), Keefe Gruner (12), Ryder Ringor (12). Kylynn Olafson (2) and Leighton Carruthers(4).

 

Ashton Tait scored both goals for the Hawks and now has 9 points in his last 4 games.

 

Flin Flon got their powerplay going and finished 2 for 4 while Nipawin was 0 for 2. Matthew Kieper continues to play well stopping 29 shots for his 8th straight win. Gage Roberts went the distance for the Hawks and despite giving up 8 goals on 50 shots, he did make some nice saves.

 

Flin Flon now has points in 12 straight games and continue to dominate the Hawks beating them for the fifth straight time this season  and have now won 22 of the last 25 meetings.

 

With last night's win Flin Flon will take over second overall at 17-9-2 good for 36 points. Nipawin remains in the basement at 7-18-2-2.

 

The Bombers only have two games remaining in 2024 as they will close out the year this weekend with a home and home against the Laronge Ice Wolves.

 

This will be their first meeting since the second week of the season when Flin Flon went into Laronge and beat the Wolves 5 to 1 on September the 28th.

 

Friday's game will be at the Mel Hegland Uniplex in Laronge with the rematch in Flin Flon at the Whitney Forum on Saturday. Puck drop both nights is 7:30 and will both be broadcast on 102.9 CFAR and flinflononline.com.
