The month of January has come to an end and it was a good one for the Flin Flon Bombers.
Flin Flon didn't lose a single game in regulation and finished the month at 10-0-1-0 with just the single OT loss to Weyburn.
The SJHL has recognized the Bomber's fine play with two of their players receiving monthly honors.
The terrific young netminder Finn Werner is the Saskmilk Rookie Of The Month. Werner went 5-0 with three shutouts and his numbers were through the roof with a 1.20 GAA and Save % of .954.
Along with 20 year old veteran Charlie Tritt, you could argue the Bombers have the best goaltending duo in the SJHL.
Xavier Fauchon who just received a Player Of The Week nod, is the Super U Defenseman Of The Month for picking up 12 points in the 11 games played. Fauchon has been impressive since training camp and continues to be one of the best puck moving d-man in the league.
A great test for the Bombers this weekend as they welcome the Weyburn Red Wings to town for a pair of games. Weyburn is the only team with a winning record against Flin Flon this season and they have actually beaten the Bombers 9 out of the last 12 times that they have played.
The Wings knocked the Bombers out of the playoffs last year in the SJHL Semi Final and both these teams will be using this weekend as statement games.
Puck drop both nights is 7:30 and you can catch Saturday's game on 102.9 CFAR and flinflononline.com beginning with the Great North GM Coach's Show at 7:10 and drop of the puck at 7:30 for Creighton Furniture.
