Bombers Win Third Straight-4-3 Over Bears

The Bomber Hockey Club continued their recent surge by winning for the third straight game 4-3 over the Bears. The win avenges the Bombers 5-2 loss to the Bears on opening day.

Strong defense, some highlight saves from goaltender Josh Burke and a balanced offensive attack proved to be the recipe for victory. The Bombers played as close to a full 45 minutes as they have in some time and didn't let questionable officiating take them out of their game as has been the case in the past.

Dave Bochner proved to be a jack of all trades by providing tenacious backchecking, scoring a break-away goal, and assisting on Bill Auld's game winning goal. Bomber defenseman Neil Van der horn commented "Dave looked like big Mario Lemeiux on his goal-holding off the Bear backchecker and roofing the shot!!"

RW Mike Rosenberg extended his goal scoring streak to 7 games in the victory.

Bombers Hold on to Beat Chatham 6-5

2 late 3rd period goals by the Chatham Coaches turned what looked like an easy victory into a nail biter for the visiting Bomber Hockey Club. With the score 6-3, Chatham managed to score goals with 2:18 and 1:28 left in the third. Fortunately for Bombers, it proved to be too little too late.

While the Bombers have been winners of two straight, foward Jimmy Lawson said "all of us in that room did not like the way that game ended. But we did get a win, and that's what is most important."

Next up for the Bombers, a Sunday showdown with the Bears.

Next Game Thursday 10/4 @ 10:15 v Metro Fire



versus

D'anna Ejected in Loss to First Place Mounties

Tony D'anna got ejected for . . . well no one really knows just yet in the Bombers 5-1 loss to the first place Mountaineers. The ejection came when the soft spoken D'anna objected to a mid ice check on his Cpt Bill Auld. D'anna stated after the game that he "felt like it was an opportunity lost. I mean if I knew I was going to get kicked out, I would have had some fun doing it. I still don't know what I said to offend him (the official)."

The game was somewhat closer than the 5-1 score with 2 of the first 3 Mountie goals going in off Bomber defensemen. "After that we were pushing and just trying to catch up" noted Bomber winger Neil Van der horn.

The Bombers were significantly outshot by nearly a 3-1 margin and the coaching staff looks to improve in that area for their next game versus the Metro Fire.
