The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) has released its rosters for the SJHL Virtual Showcase simulation taking place on Friday, Jan. 29 and 30 on Twitch.
The Melfort Mustangs and Nipawin Hawks were well represented on the four rosters with nine players from Melfort and eight from Nipawin over two teams that represent the province’s north teams. Mustangs second-year forward Ben Tkachuk is one of those players and he joined Jamie Neugebauer and Rory McGouran on SJ @ Noon on Monday, Jan. 25.
“We’ll see if my virtual player decides to show up,” Tkachuk joked on the show. “But we’ll see what happens. I’m looking forward to watching.”
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.
