Former Flin Flon Bomber bench boss Larry Wintoneak has been granted an extension with the Kam River Fighting Walleye of the Superior International Junior League.

 

This will come as no surprise as Wintoneak was able to guide the Walleye to a Superior Junior Hockey League Championship this past spring, and a trip to the Centennial Cup in Calgary.

 

The Fighting Walleye then knocked off Ironwood, Thunder Bay and Dryden to capture the Bill Salonen Cup, the second championship in franchise history.

 

Winoneak will get a two year extension after guiding his team to a 31-8-1 record after taking over a team that started 5-5 to open up the season.

 

The Walleye also had a very respectable showing at the Centennial Cup which included a tournament opening victory over the Trenton Golden Hawks.

 

Wintoneak has over 20 years coaching experience in many different leagues including a 5 year stint with the Flin Flon Bombers between 1997 and 2001, which included hosting the National Championship, Royal Bank Cup as it was referrred to back then.

 

Congratulations to Larry on the chance to advance his coaching career.
