In 2005-2006, the Bombers had an unmatched season having a 14 game unbeaten (13-0-1) streak at the end of the season and into the playoffs. The Bombers also clinched the Campbell Conference Title for the second year in a row. In a hard fought game, the Bombers fell in the championship game by a score of 3-2 to the Willingdon Avalanche. The Bombers continued their success in 2007, winning the CMCHL league again.
Despite their success on the ice, the Bombers are best know at TWU for their advertising and showmanship. General Manager Gareth Jones and coach Jon McCauley continue to mimic big league hockey in their "press conferences", pre-game rituals and fan signing sessions. At the recent home opener, the team raised their previous season championship banner prior to facing off against their cross-campus rivals.
