The Flin Flon Bombers have made a player signing one day before they are to step on the ice for the first time in 2025.
The Bombers are excited to sign 2007 born forward Eric Han who currently plays with the Tisdale Trojans of the Sask Midget Triple A League.
Han is having a break out season in his third year with the team and is better than a point per game with 33 points in 25 games and is 11th in overall league scoring.
Flin Flon selected Han in the 4th round of the 2023 SJHL Draft. Han already knows what it is like to suit up for the Maroon and White, as he made his Bomber debut on October the 3th against the Melfort Mustangs.
The Bombers prepare for their first game of the new year as they will travel to Laronge tomorrow night to face off against the Ice Wolves. Flin Flon was one of the hottest teams in Junior hockey heading into the break with 27 out of a possible 28 points in November and December.
After 30 games the Bombers are third overall at 19-9-2 with 40 points, which is one less than Yorkton for second and 12 points behind the front running Melfort Mustangs.
Laronge sits 9th overall and are two points behind the Humboldt Broncos for the final playoff spot with Humboldt having a game in hand.
The January 10th trade deadline is just one week away and it will be interesting to see what these two teams end up doing. Bomber Coach and GM, Mike Reagan is usually busy but has indicated he really likes his team and doesn't expect to make many moves.
The Wolves are desperate to make the playoffs and I have a feeling that Ice Wolf Head Coach and GM Kevin Kaminski may be looking to make a couple of moves. With how tight the standings are it may be difficult to make a move within the league.
One thing for sure , it will be interesting.
You can listen to tomorrow's game from Laronge which will start with the Great North GM Coach's Show at 7:10 and drop of the puck for Creighton Furniture at 7:30.
The rematch will take place at the Whitney Forum on Sunday with a 6pm faceoff and no broadcast on radio. After the game you can bring your helmets and skates and Skate With The Bombers and there will also be an autograph session.
