SJHL News Update!

The Flin Flon Bombers have finalized a pair of deals.

The biggest is a trade with the Battlefords North Stars as they have acquired 20 year old forward Barrett Penner (pictured) in exchange for 19 year old forward Shaun McNulty, 18 year old defenseman Kirk Moore and list player Jason Spafford. Penner was the Stars leading scorer at the time of the deal with 5 goals and 9 assists for 14 points in 16 games. Penner, known for his tough and gritty style of play, also was amongst the league leaders in penalty minutes with 90. McNulty, from Campbell River, BC, has struggled somewhat this season as he has only 2 goals and 2 assists in 18 games. McNulty should benefit from increased ice time with the Stars. Moore is a young defenseman with a good upside. The Saskatoon product has 2 assists in 15 games. Spafford is playing midget with the Saskatoon Blazers.

Meanwhile, the Bombers have also acquired forward David Dykstra from the Nipawin Hawks for futures. Dykstra had one assist in limited action this season for the Hawks.

Meanwhile, the Yorkton Terriers and Humboldt Broncos have been disciplined for events that occurred in a game in Yorkton last Friday night. Travis Coghill and Corey Silverson of the Terriers and Thomas Frasz and Taylor Pillar of the Broncos have each been suspended three games for there actions which resulted in a multi-fight situation. Meanwhile, the Terriers were also fined $500 for failing to keep their team on the bench at the end of the game.
