Bomber captain Matt Flodell lines up for a faceoff during the team’s home opener last month. Flodell, a forward in his third full season with the club, was named the team’s captain during the preseason. - PHOTO BY KELLY JACOBSON Usually, the captain of a hockey team is tasked with leading their teammates through thick and thin, on and off the ice. This hockey season is not a usual season - and Matt Flodell is not your usual captain. The captain of this year’s Flin Flon Bomber roster has had to assume a different role this year, due in large part to the team’s suspension of activity due to COVID-19 and related health measures. The soon-to-be-20-year-old forward, now in his third full season with the team, is doing the same as the rest of his teammates - spending the holidays at home, waiting for word on what comes next and staying cautiously optimistic.
