Hurricanes thump Broncos to spoil homecoming for former teammates
LETHBRIDGE – A blockbuster deal ahead of the WHL trade deadline between the Lethbridge Hurricanes and Swift Current Broncos, has so far looked like a win for both sides.
The swap on Jan. 9 saw Lethbridge move captain Giorgio Estephan, goaltender Stuart Skinner and forward Tanner Nagel to Swift Current. In return, they received forwards Logan Barlage and Owen Blocker, defenseman Matthew Stanley, netminder Logan Flodell and a package of draft picks.
Since then, the Hurricanes have gone 7-2-3-0, while the Broncos have posted a record of 7-3-0-1.
Looking at Friday night, Feb. 2, though (yes, it is just one game) it’s looking even better for the Hurricanes as they topped the Broncos 5-2 on home ice.
