Completing a four game sweep on the road against the Yorkton Terriers, the Flin Flon Bombers have broken a curse that has lasted for 33 years. This was the fourth appearance in the SJHL Finals for the Bombers in the last five years, and finally they broke the streak with a 2-0 win on the road and their second Canterra Seeds Cup.
The Terriers were ready to protect home ice and forced both teams into a defensive first period, and both teams were held off the scoresheet through the first two periods. That said, there were high opportunities thanks to back and forth penalties.
In the third period however, it was the pair of Reid Arberry and Daniel Morozov that stepped up to play heroes in the third. At the 2:38 mark, Reid Arberry on the rush from the right side slowed up to let Morozov crash the net, Arberry fired a shot towards the goal, and Morozov tipped it in for the game’s first goal.
Then with some 4-on-4 thanks to staggered penalties, Arberry held the puck as the third man in on the rush once again, but this time he made a move around a defender from the right wall and in towards the slot. From there, Arberry made a great pass across the grain to Morozov on the back door, and he hammered the onetimer home at 9:44.
