Lethbridge Hurricanes season comes to an end following 5-1 loss to Swift Current Broncos in Game 6
LETHBRIDGE – When it comes to the 2017-18 Western Hockey League season, we can declare a winner in the January trade between the Lethbridge Hurricanes and Swift Current Broncos, after the Broncos defeated the Hurricanes 5-1 in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Final on Monday, April 30 to eliminate them from the playoffs.
The Hurricanes were done in by three Bronco goals in just over a minute and a half to start the second period, but when it comes to next season, the Hurricanes will have a chance to change the perception behind that trade because they could return all but three players next year.
In the first period of Game 6, the Hurricanes came out tentative, but a couple of early power plays helped get them and the crowd into the game.
At 16:36 of the first, Calen Addison would bury his 7th of the postseason to give his team a 1-0 lead.
