Founding of Flin Flon Bombers
editThe information in the Flin Flon Bombers article contradicts the information in the Spokane Flyers article about when the Bombers were founded. I'm sure the Bombers exists before 1967, but I do not know if they continually existed, while shifting leagues. Please let me know what you can find. Flibirigit 00:54, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- I am certain the Bombers history predates the WCHL, as my grandfather played for them in the early 50s. Whether it is continuous or not, I am not certain, and will definitely have to check it out. It is extremely likely that the Bombers predated the WCHL, and simply shifted from the SJHL like most other Saskatchewan teams did. The conflict with the Spokane Flyers exists because I used the WCHL franchise date for the Bombers rather than the team's original franchise date. I'm going to clarify that in the article. I am undecided if the infobox should say the Bombers existed from 1927 or from 1967 though. Resolute 05:44, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

History
editI am adding to this blog as apparently there is no real history on this team in print. My dad, Jimmie Skinner played for the Flin Flon Bombers in the 30's & has many fond memories of his playing days. He is 90 now but his memory is very sharp. We have many pics of his playing days one in particular when he played against the Saskatoon Quakers. If you would like more information, you should contact him. He met my mom when he played in Flin Flon for them & also coached baseball & played baseball in Flin Flon. It's sad to see nothing written about the real history of this team & the original players.

- If you would like to contribute history to this article that would be great. It is easier if you have newspaper sources.... for someone here to interview him could be deemed "original research" which is usually frowned upon... But if you want to add some history here... by all means.... that would be awesome. DMighton 04:28, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
