It is game day at the Creighton Oval Field Of Dteams , as the Kodiaks will play host to the Lanigan Lazers.

Creighton is 1-1 after beating St Brieux in their home opener,  and then they dropped a 69 to 37 decision against the top team in the Conference, Carrot River last week.

Lanigan comes to Creighton with a record of 2-1, so this game will have big playoff implications.

Head Coach Ryan Karakochuk is looking forward to today's matchup, and knows his team is always tough at home. " Absolutely, I was thinking about this the other day that we never  lost a single home game in the Northern League,  for what ever reason we played some really good teams. Even playing out of Conference 2 last year, we did lose some home games , but we won more than we lost. Home matters for what ever reason? Whether the bus drive, intimidation, knowing your field, your fans of course, you just feel better in your own locker room and preparation is totally different. We are extremely excited and we are loking to protect our home field tonight."

Kickoff is at 4pm at the Creighton Field  today and don't forget that Northland Ford will be collecting non-perishable food items for the Lord's Bounty Food Bank.

It is part of the We Scare Hunger Campaign going on for the entire month of October. You can come out to cheer on the Kodiaks and  help them fill the box of a new F-150.

The futures in the trade with the Humboldt Broncos  from last January was finally announced today.

This was a trade that will definitely benefit both teams.

Last January the Bombers acquired Goalie Charlie Tritt, Defenseman Ryder Knutson and Forward Connor Miller to help push for a League Championship.

As we all know, the trade paid off and the Bombers were able to win their first league title in 33 years.

All three of these players were instrumental in the team winning a Provincial title and getting a chance to go to a National Championship.

Tritt was named the league's top netminder and Miller was selected the SJHL Playoff MVP.

Today we found out the pieces going to Humboldt as three talented forwards will make their way to the Broncos including Jack Martin, Ryan Ulmer and Leo Seitz .

All three of these players were part of the squad that helped Flin Flon win the league last season  and all three will be able to step into Humboldt's lineup this year and compete for another League Championship.

Head Coach Cole McCaig had this to say about the deal. " We had a team meeting with the three players that were picked by Humboldt, it was very emotional with a lot of tears that were shed. We are losing three really good players who are also really good human beings. They have been great ambassadors in the community and they will be very tough to replace. We now need to move forward as a group,  and now we need to send a statement to the rest of the league that we are still one of the team's to get through to win this  league."

The Bombers make their way to Estevan tonight to face the Bruins and are currently 1-1 on this road trip after blanking Weyburn 3-0 on Wednesday night. The road trip will come to an end tomorrow night in Yorkton in a rematch from last Spring's Canterra Seeds Cup Final.

Tomorrow, Halcrow Lake Golf & Country Club will be hosting their “Club Closer” to wrap up what has been another fantastic golf season.

Finn Werner was fantastic and he stopped all 33 shots fired in his direction as the Flin Flon Bombers blanked the Weyburn Red Wings 3 to 0 last night at the White Cap Resources Centre.

This will help avenge a 4 to 2 loss in Melville the night before.

After a scoreless first period, Ryan Ulmer scored his first of the season just over two minutes into the second frame in what would stand up as the game winner.

Werner did the rest and was one of the big  keys for the Bomber victory.

Rhett Ewen scored the other two goals,  and his first one was a beauty where he was able to finish off a nice tik tak toe play with his linemate Ryder Mucha. Brayden Bruce started the play when he was able to find Mucha at the side of the Weyburn net, before Mucha flipped the puck out  front  to Ewen who was able to tap it in.

Ewen would score again with  a big insurance goal late in the second period to give Flin Flon the 3 to 0 lead going into the final period. There was no scoring in the third period.

Neither team could muster anything on the powerplay with the Bombers going 0 for 7 while the Wings wound up 0 for 4.

With the win,  Flin Flon will improve to 3 -1 on the season and Weyburn will fall to 3-2.

Today is the day where the Bombers will have to complete the Humboldt trade from last year's deadline that sent Charlie Tritt, Ryder Knutson and Connor Miller to the Bombers for their Championship run.

Miller's rights reverted back to the Broncos this season and three additional players from Flin Flon's roster will be sent to the Broncos. The trade go's down today but will not be announced til Sunday.

Flin Flon will get a much deserved day off today before making their way to Affinity Place to face the Estevan Bruins as their Southern road swing will continue on Friday night.

Then on Saturday,  it will be a rematch of the Canterra Seeds Cup final from this past spring as the Bombers will face the Yorkton Terriers where they won their first League Title in 33 years.

No doubt there will be a lot of emotion in Yorkton and I am sure the Terriers will be up for this one.

After wrapping up the 4 game road trip on Saturday the Bombers will return to the Whitney Forum to face the Estevan Bruins next Friday and Saturday.

The Northern Manitoba Blizzard ended up splitting their two-game set against the Monarchs, blanking them 7-0 on Tuesday before falling 6-2 in yesterday’s contest.

The Blizz now have their sights set on tomorrow and Saturday’s matchups against the Selkirk Steelers here at home. Selkirk is currently the number-one team in the entire league in terms of overall points.

The Blizz, meanwhile, are in a three-way tie for second with both Swan Valley and Virden. A successful weekend could easily propel them to the top of the MGEU West Division.

Puck drop for both tomorrow and Saturday’s games is set for 7:00 p.m. Blizz fans should keep in mind that only two out of ten games this month will be played on the road, meaning there’s plenty of hockey action to take in for Blizz fans of all ages.
