Congratulations to former Flin Flon Bomber Defenseman  Cole Tanchuk on being hired by the RCMP after completing training at the Depot Division.

 

Cole's first post will be serving communities in Northern Saskatchewan.

 

Tanchuk credits his four years with the Bombers as spring boarding his new career in policing. “Reags really prepared me for depot,” Tanchuk said. “You don’t really notice it when you’re there, but when you get out in the real world, you really realize that Rags prepares you for the real world. With policing, it’s a very disciplined job, and the way he holds everyone accountable goes hand in hand with what I experienced at depot.”

 

Tanchuk spent all four years of his junior career in Flin Flon, suiting up for 203 regular season games and picking up 63 points in the process including 9 goals and 54 assists.

 

He also added 15 points in 53 career playoff games and helped the Bombers reach the league final in three straight seasons which included a trip to the National Final in Estevan in 2022.

 

Originally from Shellbrook, Saskatchewan, Tanchuk will begin his RCMP service in his hometown, before transitioning to Sandy Bay later this year—bringing him back to a familiar part of the province and close to the community that supported him throughout his junior hockey career.
