SJHL Championships since the FF Lie Cheat and Stealers Last Won: Wey (5) Mel (3) Est (2) Bat (4) Kin (2) Hum (5) Yor (4) LA (2) Nip (1) Congratulations FF faithful, you have successfully lied, cheated, and stole your way to a championship. (Did I mention whined and complained?) Ps, If you think they aren’t topping up PDFs and paying players to play, it will be very curious why the team lost money come the AGM Bombers loose money? Lol. The Bombers make more money off one playoff game than Kindersly has made in the last 5 years of playoffs. See ya in another 5.

No way a team would risk a paper trail so easy to identify that the general public can read it as fact from a spreadsheet.

Yall now the mine and processing plant in Flin Flon ceased operations, and ya know half the male working force travel out of town a week at a time. Just wondering where the cash infusion to recruit is coming from. Anyone care to speculate the origin of the paper trail. The secret slush fund. The pile of cash. And why do only the Bombers have stacks of cash. Who finances the Bombers high end talent.

The team buys auto insurance on vehicles from visiting communities with 20 year old Quebec kids as the beneficiary and then the local gang slashes tires and breaks windows for a percentage.

I thinkFlin Flon top ticket price at 60 tickets for $20 sells more. When other rinks get good pots only $50 tickets win (Melfort and Humboldt for sure)which stops some from buying when pots get high as some can’t afford $50 or a bunch go together.

It’s a shame Manitoba Lotteries Commission restrict 50/50 on line sales to Mb only. Otherswise the Bombers would take most of the Saskatchewan 50/50 on line sales as well. Lol Some of you forensic auditors might follow the cash back to MLC, they have the money.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why the Bombers are doing well in the money department. How many years have they made deep playoff runs? A rough figure I’d say they roll in anywhere from $20 k to 30 k per game. Even more in the finals. Teams that struggle to make the playoffs are going to struggle financially also. No two ways about it.

The strange thing is how you guys are basically denying the players getting paid. Its ok. Everybody knows. It’s not a secret why McNutt took a right turn on the way to La Ronge and went east to Flin Flon. WHL players coming in? Yup, getting paid. Whether it’s the team or “having jobs” with an outfit in town, they are getting taken care of well

Whether it’s the team or “having jobs” with an outfit in town, they are getting taken care of well You think you’d have to pay a player to come to Flin Flon over LaRonge? Come on now. Stop making crap up. The only factual information you’ve provided is players having jobs. I’ve been in both the Victoria inn and chicken chef and seen players working. Mckeen’s trucking usually also supplies jobs helping around the shop. Teams that consistently sit in the bottom of the standings will always have trouble recruiting and there’s no easy way to get out of that hole. Well unless you hire someone like Doug. Guaranteed the Mils will have an easier time recruiting going forward.

No two ways about it. In the late 90's / early 2000's word is the Red Wings would make 20-25 K a home game when they ran deep in the playoffs. Building was full most nights .It's not hard to see that helps the bottom line in a huge way and sets you up financially going forward. The Wings had deep runs in 94,95, 97, 98 , 2000 , 2001. 5 of those were Anavet Cup appearances , up to 12 home games per playoff or possibly more. You hit the nail on the head , and off topic a bit is why i believe 2 divisions with a survivor series helps everyone , but that's a discussion for different day. Flin Flon has done everything right and it's paying off , the sour grapes the naysayers throw is typical to franchises having success. Battleford's are in the same boat, they've had recent great success , monetarily it helps.

Battleford's are in the same boat, they've had recent great success , monetarily it helps. I agree with this. I'm curious to see what the Mil's financials are like this season. We had incredible attendance considering the games played were weekday games, and the first round generally does not draw well to begin with. People were desperate to see playoff hockey. I'm hoping we are going to be out of the rut, but one reasonably successful season on the ice is not going to put a dent in all the red budgets of the last decade. The old playoff format benefited teams equally, and in my opinion was also better for fans. Teams were going back and forth until the final, where the 2-2-1-1-1 might have come into play if distance warranted it. Everyone was getting a share of the weekend games, which generally draw 25% more fans. For us there was a lot of travelling for road games in the playoffs. Cars and buses heading to Yorkton, Estevan, Weyburn, and Notre Dame for games regardless what day of the week it was. It is hard to justify playoff road trips right now unless you get a perfect matchup logistically speaking. The current playoff format has the top seeded teams getting all the weekend games. Finish in the top 3 or 4 and make it to the final and you're laughing all the way to the bank. Even 2 rounds is good money. Team success on the ice and financials are definitely tied together far more now than they ever were, so in some ways it is almost unsurprising to see the same teams at the top every year now.

Also helped to turf the Anavet cup, and no bchl means no travel to high priced longer stay westerns. Straight to nationals save $$

With the Anavet cup you were making money from the gate from the bar from 50/50s etc. going straight to nationals your not making anything and having 10 days or more of pure expenses… bus,hotel,meals, team outings etc..

The Host community is responsible for transportation,hotels and meals. It’s a huge undertaking to host Nationals. Especially now with accommodating 9 teams. There is still some expenses but definitely not 10 days worth.

Yes and in westerns when it was on and the anavet was teams expense….about 7/8 years ago when stars went to penticton they made like 23k for the year I believe. Twelve straight wins also doesn’t give you much income. But they’ve switched it hrough the years, no anavet just westerns, then no bchl and westerns and back to anavet. Now straight to nationals
