Extra Time Is the Theme In the SJHL Tonight!

Both SJHL games required extra time tonight to determine a winner.

In Flin Flon, the Bombers picked up there third straight win as they got by the Yorkton Terriers 5-4 in the shootout. Pierre-Luc Boucher led the way for the Bombers as he picked up a goal and two assists. His linemates Dennis Kubat and Reid MacLeod each had a goal and an assist. Michael Young also scored for the Bombers while Tommy Castonguay had the shootout clincher for the Bombers. The Terriers got two goals from Chris Bratina in the loss. Kirk Byczynski had a goal and an assist for the Terriers. Cody Zubko also scored for Yorkton while Kyle Block added two assists. The Bombers outshot the Terriers 45-21 including holding the Terriers to only two shots in the third period and one in overtime. Carsen Chubak picked up the win for the Bombers but only managed to stop 17 of 21 shots he faced. Lynden Sammartino was much busier as he turned aside 41 shots in the Yorkton goal. With the win, the Bombers improve to 4-3-0-1 and sit third in the Itech Conference. The Terriers remain 5th in the Sherwood but pick up a point to improve to 2-3-1-2.

In Humboldt, the Broncos outshot the La Ronge Ice Wolves 42-18 and snuck out a 2-1 overtime victory. Matthew Kirzinger was the overtime hero as he scored with only 29 seconds to go in the extra frame. Kirzinger also had an assist on Tory Allan's game tying goal in the second period. Joel Belair scored the lone Wolves goal. Jonathan Jobin was back to his spectacular self as he made 40 saves for La Ronge. Taylor Nelson had his typical quiet night at the other end stopping 17 of 18 shots. The Broncos are now 7-2 while The Ice Wolves pick up a point and go to 3-5-1-0.

Reminder - Wings return to action Friday in Kindersley. Many people have inquired about availability of the games on the radio and unfortunately no games will be broadcasted before November due to baseball playoffs on AM1190. Stay tuned to sjhl.ca and this site for updates throughout the weekend.

Tip of the Hat - Just want to tip my hat to Randy Parks, the boss man for the SJHL fan forum for the great job he does at keeping that site moderated and fun to read. If you have never visited be sure to go to sjhlforum.proboards75.com.

I see Stars 123 has already read my post prior judging by his comments on the forum. Glad to see you enjoy the site and nice to see you have a sense of humor.
