There seems to be no stopping the Flin Flon Bombers, as they wrapped up their Southern swing on Saturday with a convincing 7 to 1 win over the Notre Dame Hounds.
The Hounds hit the board first, when Hudson Kerr scored on the powerplay just 5:37 into the opening period.
Flin Flon answered with a powerplay goal of their own from Captain Cole Tanchuk, and it was all Flin Flon after that. Seven different Bombers found the back of the net including Carter Cormier (17), Rhett Eewn (5), Ryder Ringor (20), Anthony Piccininno (11), Keefe Gruener (23) and Ryder Mucha (4).
It was a great game for Carter Cormier who also added 3 assists.
Kenny Marquart got his first start in a week and didn't disappoint with 18 saves for his 9th win of the season, while the Hound netminder Spencer Borsos was far busier stopping 45 of 52.
These 4 game in 5 night road trips are always tough, especially when you get to the last game which makes this win even more impressive. Flin Flon was battling both injuries and sickness but they didn't let that affect them.
The Bombers will take 7 out of 8 points with wins in Melville and Estevan and a tough OT loss in Weyburn. Flin Flon had some great chances early in the OT period on Friday but couldn't convert.
Flin Flon is also trying to chase down history with no regulation losses in their last 25 games, as they try to match the Prince Albert Raiders who did it it for 30 games in 1981-82.
More importantly the Bombers continue to play sound hockey and are an impressive 28-9-3-1 and sit second overall, now 4 points behind the front running Melfort Mustangs who got upset 4 to 1 in Nipawin on Saturday.
These two teams will collide at the Whitney Forum on Saturday in their first meeting since November the 8th, which was the game that started the streak for Flin Flon.
You will be able to catch all the action on 102.9 CFAR and flinflononlinecom including the Great North GM Coach's Show at 7:10.
Good luck to all the Bombers including Koen Senft, Keefe Gruener, Anthony Piccininno, Ryder Ringor, Luke Lepper, Liam Hunks and Matthew Kieper who will all be representing the SJHL at the Showcase in Winnipeg starting today.
