Swift Current Broncos

The Swift Current Broncos play their homes games in Swift Current, SK and are a member of the East Division of the Eastern Conference of the Western Hockey League.  Scoring 216 goals, the Broncos had the second lowest total in the conference and gave up the third highest total in the conference with 272.  As you might imagine, they missed the playoffs, but it was through no fault of Taylor Vause.  He paced the team with 83 points and was 30 points better than the next leading scorer on the team Coda Gordon, who is also a prospect of the Calgary Flames.  The Broncos are best known for the bus crash in 1986 that claimed the lives of four players, and their numbers are retired for that reason.  The team is also known for producing Hall of Famer (come October) Joe Sakic, Geoff Sanderson, Tiger Williams, and former Kansas City Blade Dody Wood.
