Former ‘Canes play key role in helping Broncos take 1-0 series lead
SWIFT CURRENT – For the first time in these WHL playoffs, the Lethbridge Hurricanes are trailing in a series.
And what a series it’s shaping up to be.
Game one of the Eastern Conference Final went to the Swift Current Broncos – the WHL’s second-best team in the regular season – as they narrowly edged the Hurricanes 3-2 Friday night, April 20.
With the obvious storyline and pressure associated with the blockbuster trade that saw Lethbridge send captain Giorgio Estephan, Stuart Skinner and Tanner Nagel to Swift Current for Logan Barlage, Logan Flodell, Matthew Stanley and Owen Block on Jan. 9, several of the players who swapped sides left their mark on the game sheet.
