It was a very special night at the Whitney Forum last night  as the Flin Flon Bombers honored the  Flin Flon, Creighton, Denare Beach, and Cranberry Portage Fire Departments. They also recognized EMS, the RCMP, Manitoba and Saskatchewan Conservation for everything they did to protect our communities last summer.

 

Flin Flon wore special jerseys for the game and were known as the Flin Flon Water Bombers for last night's special game against the Laronge Ice Wolves.

 

Flin Flon  did not disappoint and they came out and put on one heck of a show putting up 68 shots enroute to a 10 to 3 victory.

 

Reid Arberry and Ryder Mucha led the way with a pair of goals each with Rhett Ewen(8), Jack Martin (10), Landon Alexander (10), Hudson Brehaut (5), Joey Lies (17) and Xavier Fauchon (6) all finding the back of the net as well.

 

Evan Cook, Justin Berezniuk and Dayton Tailfeathers replied for Laronge.

 

Finn Werner got the start for the Bombers and he turned aside 21 out of 24 shots for his 7th win of the season. Graham Brown was far more busy in the Laronge net  stopping 57 out of 67 shots and played very well despite being hung out to dry many times.

 

Flin Flon continues to roll along and have won 6 in a row and have given themselves a bit more breathing room for first overall and now lead Weyburn by 5 points for first place.

 

The Wings do have two games in hand.

 

Laronge will fall to 6-20-3-1 and have dropped all 5 meetings to the Bombers this season.

 

These two teams will meet once again Friday night at the Jonas Roberts Memorial Community Centre in Laronge.
