Oliver Bonk had a breakthrough season with the London Knights when head coach Dale Hunter put him in the “bumper” position on the power play. Despite initially seeming out of place, Bonk thrived in this role, increasing his goal total from 10 to 24, with 15 of those scored on the power play. The catchphrase “Bumper Bonk” became synonymous with London’s success, leading to t-shirts and new nicknames for the Flyers prospect. Bonk’s confidence and growth in other areas of his game have impressed the Flyers organization, who are excited about his potential heading into training camp. While “Bumper Bonk” may not carry over to the NHL, his hockey sense and ability to create opportunities are traits that bode well for his future in professional hockey, a journey heavily influenced by his father, former NHL center Radek Bonk.
