Well sports fans, after being idle for over a year, your Barrhead Bombers came roaring back Friday night with a massive win over their nemesis, the Hinton Timberwolves. Your Bombers opened the scoring at 18:13 of the first period with Chance Grey-Carifelle netting the first Bombers goal of the 2021-22 season with assists from Gardiner and Davis.

Second period action saw the Bombers widen the lead with three goals, the first from Kochan, assisted by Mandes and Davis.  Grey-Carifelle scored his second of the night at the 11:54 mark of the second, with an assist from Esperance. The final Bombers goal in the second frame was scored by Devries from Anderson and Paiement. Hinton opened their scoring with their first of the night at the 10:12 mark by a goal from Granston, assisted by McPherson.

In the third frame Barrhead began to showcase their scoring depth as we saw goals from Cody Anderson with assists from Kochan and Bombers veteran and fan favourite,  Austin Strathdee at the 8:45 mark. Hinton picked up their second of the night at 7:14 with Pazitka potting one, with assists from Malmbo and Hollett.

Barrhead answered back with 4:48 left in the third with Gardiner finding the back of the net, assisted by Devries and Bujold. Hinton tried to mount a comeback scoring two more goals from Hollett and Caron respectively, but ultimately falling short.
