The Swift Current Broncos are 2018 Ed Chynoweth Cup Champions.
Swift Current is Saskatchewan’s first Western Hockey League Champion since 1993 when the Broncos also took the league title.
“These kids how committed they were… they were all in,” said Broncos Head Coach/Director of Player Personnel Manny Viveiros. “There was times things didn’t go well for us, but they were determined and never got done. I’m really proud of that group. I’m so happy for these guys.”
Stuart Skinner made 31 saves for his sixth shutout of the playoffs as the Broncos beat Everett 3-0 to secure the 4-2 series win over the Silvertips.
