First place overall was on the line this past weekend as the Flin Flon Bombers hooked up with their long time division rivals the  Nipawin Hawks in a home and home.

Flin Flon led the Hawks by two points as they ventured down the highway to the Centennial Arena on Friday night.

The Bombers were 17-7-0-1 while the Hawks entered the weekend 16-6-1.

Things started well for the Maroon and White on Friday as Daniel Morozov picked up his third on the year on the powerplay. Morozov took advantage of a nice pass from Sam Ward to beat Gage Roberts on a nice snapshot low blocker side.

Flin Flon carried a 1 to 0 lead into the second period and it took Nipawin all of 23 seconds to tie the game when home town  Captain Finley Radloff was left alone in front of the Bomber net.
