The new Superior International Junior Hockey League team in Sioux Lookout will be known as the ‘Bombers.’
The ownership group has officially unveiled the name, logo and vision to the public.
Matt Cairns is the Director of Marketing and Communications and says they selected the name Bombers to honour the hardworking Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry fire crews who spend every day to help keep us safe from wildfires.
Cairns adds it also recognizes the important role the Ministry plays in the Sioux Lookout area and all of Northwestern Ontario.
The team colours will be green and yellow in honour of the old Queen Elizabeth Warriors High School program and the footprint they left in building the sport in what has become a hockey crazed community.

From the air â specifically a drone zipping overhead at 100-plus feet â itâs easy to see why hikers, bird watchers and dog walkers like Long Creek Park just the way it is.
Most of the 164-acre spot, purchased by the city in 2017, looks and feels like the golf course it once was.
It is lined by tall, mature trees and rolls gently along with the natural elevation of the land. City workers keep its (former) fairways mowed to reasonable lengths without dumping a boatload of chemical herbicides to leech into Muddy Creek. Paved paths, once used by electric golf carts, make for smooth, at-your-own pace walking.
