A Kamloops-born skater is heading east!
Mat Ward, a 2019 first-round pick in WHL Bantam draft, officially signed with the Swift Current Broncos.
The 2000-born forward went 14th overall and was one of two first-round selections by the Broncos.
“He was a player that we wanted going way back to January. He brings so many intangibles to the team,” said Swift Current Broncos Head Coach Dean Brockman.
Ward spent his 2018-19 season at the Delta Hockey Academy where he played 30 games, scored 24 goals, and collected 64 points.
“I like to set guys up, play as a team and make other players better,” said Ward.
The Broncos now have commitments on paper from 3 of their top five picks from the 2019 WHL Bantam Draft.
