Humboldt Broncos

The Humboldt Broncos season is on the line tonight. 

For the first time, the Broncos will be facing elimination after the Flin Flon Bombers picked up a dominating 9-0 win on Saturday to get a 3-2 series lead.  

Nine different Bomber players contributed to the scoresheet.  

Home cooking has been the recipe for success in the series between the Humboldt Broncos and Flin Flon Bombers.  

Through the first four games, the home squad has won each contest as the Broncos will try and break that trend on Saturday night at the Whitney Forum.  

After their second straight overtime win on Wednesday night, Associate Coach Carter Hansen said the pressure falls back to the Bombers. 

The fans got their money's worth this week at the Elgar Petersen Arena. For the second straight night, the Humboldt Broncos defeated the Flin Flon Bombers in overtime 4-3.  

Kye Benoche was the overtime hero this time, pouncing on a loose rebound, to even up the best of seven series at 2-2.  

Wednesday’s Game 3 between the Humboldt Broncos and Flin Flon Bombers turned into a marathon, heading into double overtime, in the end the Broncos provided the final sprint over the finish line, winning 3-2 and cutting the series deficit to 2-1.  

Zach Bansley scored the overtime winner in his first game in his first game back in the lineup after missing the last ten games with a lower body injury. 

The Humboldt Broncos fell into a daunting 0-2 hole in the first-round playoff series to the Flin Flon Bombers with a 4-2 loss on Saturday night, but you ask anyone inside that green and gold dressing room, this is still going to be a long series.

5-on-5, the Broncos had the Bombers exactly where they wanted them in Game 2. A relentless offensive-zone forechecking attack put pressure on Bombers blueliners. They scored the game’s opening goal. They had a lead going into the second period, and they had quieted an often impossible-to-mute Whitney Forum crowd.

The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) playoffs begin tonight with all four series getting underway, including the Humboldt Broncos meeting the Flin Flon Bombers.  

During the regular season, the Broncos and Bombers met on four occasions, but each team hosted their opponent in back-to-back games in the season. 

The Humboldt Broncos did their part on Friday picking up a 6-1 win over the Nipawin Hawks on Friday night, but they didn’t get any help from the Kindersley Klippers, as the Battlefords North Stars swept the home and home set to claim the Nutrien Division and the sixth seed in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League standings.  

As a result, the Broncos will head north for their first-round matchup against the Flin Flon Bombers, who finished second overall during the regular season.  

It seemed like yesterday the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) dropped the puck on the 2024-25 regular season. 

Tonight, the Humboldt Broncos will close out the regular season in Nipawin against the Hawks. The good news for the Broncos, their season will not conclude as they have clinched a playoff spot, where they finish remains undetermined.  

The Humboldt Broncos lost control in their pursuit of sixth place in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) standings, as they were defeated by the Weyburn Red Wings 3-2 on Tuesday night. 

After a scoreless first period, Rylan Hue opened the scoring for Humboldt, as the Broncos had a slim 1-0 going into the final period.
