The Humboldt Broncos capped off their incredible SJHL season tonight with a game seven victory over the Kindersley Klippers.
The Klippers gave the CJAHL’s number one ranked team a scare as they once held a 3-1 series lead. Unfortunately for them they just couldn’t finish the Broncos off. The defending Credential Cup Champs were just too strong for the Klippers in the end.
Humboldt opened the scoring with a powerplay goal by Brady Wacker at just 2:17 into the period. They grabbed a two goal lead with under a minute to go in the first as Steven Schroeder fired the puck past Klippers goalie Ryan Nieszner who faced 17 shots in the first period alone, while the Broncos defence held Kindersley to just five shots in the first.
The Broncos began to dash all hopes of a Klippers comeback in the second period as they grabbed a three goal lead at 4:16. Jordan Schindel scored with the assists going to Laurent Benajmin and Radville native, Tanner Vandesype. Despite being down, the Klippers still showed some fight and got on the board at 16:15 on a goal by Kirk Pearce. Nearly 30 seconds later though, the Broncos regained their three goal lead on a goal by Josh Garneau. Then just as the period was expiring, Brett Leedahl scored for the Klippers to cut the lead in half with just one period remaining.
The Broncos padded their lead early on in the third on a goal by Brayden Klimosko at 4:37 with the assists going to the Schroeder boys who had a heck of a night. Scott picked up a goal and two assists while Steven had a goal and three assists. The Broncos went on to add three more goals(2 empty net goals) to win the game by a score of 8-2.
The Broncos certainly looked like the team that everyone was expecting to see throughout the entire series and they couldn't have picked a better time to put plenty of pucks in the net. Congrats to the Broncos for winning their second straight Credential Cup and you have to give credit to the Kindersley Klippers who gave them all they could handle.

Im pretty sure that if our bombers could have somehow gotten past the Broncos, which, i know, we weren't too close to doing. But if we could have we would have beat the Klipps in 5 guaranteed. Maybe we just match up against them well? i dont know but they arent nearly as good as the bombers everytime the two teams square off. Flin Flon Bombers.......2009 RBC CHAMPS, has a nice ring to it, just remember u all heard it here first when it happens next year!
give it up already...you're probably the same person who predicted the bombers would win in 4 or 5 games against humboldt & no the klippers would have blown you away...guaranteed!
