Recreation
Hockey & Ice Skating
Flin Flon’s Whitney Forum is the community’s indoor skating rink. The arena hosts regular skating periods, youth and adult hockey leagues, as well as raucous professional hockey matches featuring the local Junior A hockey team, the Flin Flon Bombers.
Flin Flon also has seven outdoor ice rinks to enjoy in the winter for casual skating and shinny!
Flin Flon Bombers
Few hometown heroes are recognized as readily as the Flin Flon Bombers. Founded in 1927, the Flin Flon Bombers have spawned Canadian hockey legends like Bobby Clarke, Reggie Leach, Ted Hampson, Ron Hutcheson, Mel Pearson, Gordie Redhal, Gerry Hart, and Ken Baumgartner.
Their competitive and enthusiastic play style earned the Whitney Forum the nickname of “The Zoo”, and today, that legacy is carried on by the wildly passionate fans that fill the arena every game. It gets loud. Seriously, don’t forget your earplugs.
Curling
Directly next door to the Whitney Forum is the Uptown Curling Rink, operated by the Flin Flon Curling Club. The club hosts men's, women's, and mixed curling leagues, as well as fun bonspiels throughout the season.

More Parks!
Flin Flon’s skatepark offers a safe place to learn to skateboard or BMX.
Centennial Park is a unique playground that is fully accessible to children and adults with mobility issues! Wheelchairs can access the playground structure directly from the sidewalk! It’s joined by more than [how many parks] other parks and playgrounds throughout the city.
The Water and the Wild: Beyond Flin Flon’s city limits are hundreds of kilometers of undeveloped crown land, with crystal clear lakes that dot an ocean of spruce, pines, and tamaracks.
There are lots of old trails, shorelines, and secret spots for the self-driven explorer to discover, and it doesn’t take a long trek to find silent and secluded wilderness.
