Matthew Kieper only had to make 12 saves last night for his first ever  SJHL shutout as the Flin Flon Bombers blanked the Melville Millionaires 3 to 0 and opened up their Southern Road Swing on a positive note.

 

It was a historic night for Kieper who picked up his first Bomber shut-out in his 100th career junior game. He remains undefeated in regulation and improves to 13-0-0-1.

 

Ryder Ringor led the way offensively with a pair of goals his 17th and 18th of the season including a short handed goal to give the Bombers 11 on the season which leads the league.

 

Liam Hunks added the other goal,  his 10th of the year and second as a Bomber when he took a nice pass from Joey Lies and went in and fired a nice snapshot past Melville goalie Ben Laurette. 

 

 

Flin Flon has beaten the Mills in all three meetings this year and have only given up one goal in the three games.

 

The Bombers unbeaten streak in regulation has now reached 22 games and they continue to sit second overall at 26-9-2-1, good for 55 points and have been able to close the gap to 7 points behind the front running Melfort Mustangs.

 

Flin Flon will now shift their focus to the Estevan Bruins as the Southern Road Swing makes it's way to Affinity Place. The Bruins made some headlines this past weekend as they decided to part ways with Head Coach and GM, Jason Tartanic.

 

Drew Kocur has taken over on an interim basis and he will make his Bruins coaching debut tonight.

 

Once again you can hear all the action on 102.9 CFAR and flinflononline.com as Mike Stackhouse will have the call beginning at 6:45 with the Great North GM Coach's Show.V
