It was a weekend that Flin Flon Bomber fans in Northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan, not to mention around the rest of the Bomber Nation had patiently been waiting for.

 

The 2026-27  season is officially underway and the Bombers have started right where they left off after winning their first SJHL Championship in 33 years.

 

Flin Flon went into Laronge on Friday night and buried the Wolves by as score of 6 to 2.

 

The night didn’t start well with the Wolves scoring 27 seconds into the opening period, but Flin Flon would get on track.

 

 

It looks like the Bombers will have scoring depth once again with six different scorers finding the back of the net including new comer Eli Heroux, Hudson Brehaut, Leo Seitz, Rhett Ewen, Jack Martin and Nathan Lalimiere.

 

It was Ewen’s short handed goal that was the turning point for the Bombers late in the second period to give them a 4 to 2 lead heading into the final period.

 

Finn Werner looked good in his return between the pipes  making 19 saves on 21 shots as the Bombers start the season 1-0.

 

Final shots were 38 to 21 in Flin Flon's favour with the Bombers going 2 for 6 with the extra attacker while Laronge was 1 for 6.
