It is a big season for the Flin Flon Bombers for lots of reasons as not only are they the reigning league champions heading into this year, but the franchise is also celebrating 100 years.
Not only are the Bombers regarded as one of the most decorated Junior Franchises in the world, but you could argue one of the most famous and celebrated Hockey Clubs on the planet.
This promises to be a historic season with lots of events and celebrations including the SJHL Hall Of Fame Weekend on September the 25th and 26th.
Main Camp will open up on Friday at the Whitney Forum, and one of the most familiar faces of the franchise in recent memory will not be present.
Long time Head Coach and GM , Mike Reagan who has been the Coach and GM of the team the last 19 seasons and the face of the franchise has taken a job with the Kelowna Rockets of the WHL.
Reagan leaves the team on top after he was able to lead the Bombers to their first league title in 33 years.
The Bombers have welcomed Cole McCaig back to the team as he returns after a one year absence with the Brooks Bandits of the BCHL. Prior to last season, McCaig was an Assistant Coach with the Bombers for 7 years, so he knows the organization and community very well.
McCaig also suited up for the Bombers as a player for 123 games between 2011 and 2014 before finishing his career with Way Way of the MJHL.
