With notes from the Flin Flon Bombers
REGINA, SK – The Flin Flon Bombers held their 100th-year celebration and Hall of Fame weekend this past weekend in the Northern Manitoba community.
The weekend included an Alumni Game, a banquet, and the Bombers’ home opener against the La Ronge Ice Wolves.
Here are the six inductees into the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League Hall of Fame from the weekend.
Mike Reagan
Raised in Flin Flon, Reagan has spent his life giving back to the community and the Bombers organization he has proudly called home. As a player from 1996–2000, he recorded 80 goals and 125 assists in 239 games, finishing fourth all-time in Bombers scoring. His 239 games remain the most played in franchise history.
In 2007, Reagan stepped behind the bench and began a coaching legacy that continues nearly two decades later. With 606 wins, he is the winningest coach in Bombers history and the longest-serving head coach in the SJHL. His teams have never missed the playoffs, reached the SJHL Final six times, and in 2025–26 captured the SJHL Championship, ending a 33-year, 12,055+ day drought.
Named SJHL and CJHL Coach of the Year in 2023–24, Reagan has also helped more than 40 players earn NCAA Division I scholarships and represented Hockey Canada West five times, winning two gold and one bronze.
His legacy is measured not only in championships, but in the lives he has changed and the pride he has brought to Flin Flon.
Rob Beck
From 1990 to 1993, Rob Beck was a cornerstone of the Flin Flon Bombers, combining elite offensive production with the grit and toughness that defined his game. In 142 games, Beck recorded an impressive 93 goals and 128 assists for 221 points, while amassing 397 penalty minutes. His ability to impact a game with either a timely goal or a physical shift made him one of the league’s most dangerous and respected players.
Following his Bombers career, Beck continued at Merrimack College, where he recorded 50 goals and 63 assists for 113 points in 142 NCAA games, along with 208 penalty minutes.
More than the numbers, Beck helped shape the identity of a memorable Bombers team. His leadership, competitiveness, and passion embodied the pride of Flin Flon hockey and earned the respect of teammates, opponents, and fans.
More than three decades later, his impact remains. His induction into the SJHL Hall of Fame recognizes not only outstanding statistics, but a lasting legacy built on skill, toughness, leadership, and pride.
1992–93 Team
The 1992–93 Flin Flon Bombers will forever stand among the defining teams in franchise history. Led by Head Coach and General Manager Norm Johnston and Assistant Coach Mel Pearson, the Bombers built their success on discipline, toughness, speed, and relentless competitiveness.
Featuring 23 players, including Darren Johnson, Todd Heck, Todd Kozak, Darryl Dickson, Nolan Weir, Jeff Chorney, Jason Mattern, Shane Hayes, Clarke Funk, Kyle Paul, Dylan Forsythe, Jason Brown, Aaron Cain, Wally Spence, Travis Cheyne, Mark Loeppky, Layne Humenny, Rob Beck, Brent Day, Jason Ahenakew, Chris Hatch, Tyler Kuhn, and Danny Dennis, the team was defined by depth, character, sacrifice, and an unwavering commitment to the Maroon and White.
More than a championship team, the 1992–93 Bombers became a symbol of Flin Flon pride. The Whitney Forum was transformed into one of the toughest buildings in junior hockey, with the community rallying behind a team that reflected its own hardworking and resilient spirit.
Decades later, the legacy of the 1992–93 SJHL Champions lives on. Their championship remains a benchmark for future Bombers teams and a lasting source of pride for generations of Flin Flon fans.
Tim Madarash
Over an incredible 227 games, Madarash amassed 147 goals and 178 assists, cementing himself as one of the most impactful offensive players to ever suit up for the Bombers. His scoring touch was elite, his consistency unmatched, and his durability remarkable. Night after night, season after season, Madarash delivered for the Bombers.
But his game was never just about offence. With 735 penalty minutes, Madarash brought an edge that made him incredibly difficult to play against. He combined skill with physicality in a way that perfectly embodied SJHL hockey. Opponents had to account for him every shift – whether he was scoring goals or setting the tone physically.
Tim Madarash helped define an era of Bombers hockey built on toughness, scoring, and heart. For his remarkable production, longevity, and commitment to the franchise, his induction into the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League Hall of Fame is both fitting and long overdue.
