This team is not to be confused with the Spokane Flyers that played in Canadian Senior Amateur Hockey and won the Allan Cup championships in 1976 and 1980.

Like the Americans, the Flyers would quickly cease operations, as the franchise folded on December 2, 1981 just 26 games into its second season.

The Flyers franchise first joined the then-named Western Canada Hockey League (WCHL) in 1967 as the Flin Flon Bombers.

The franchise had a great deal of stability in Flin Flon, Manitoba and lasted eleven seasons in the community before the WHL outgrew it.

After ceasing operations, the Flyers team bus was sold to the Victoria Cougars.
