The Humboldt Broncos are pleased to announce the signing of Humboldt native, 2007 born goaltender, Brady Holtvogt.

Holtvogt was assigned to the Broncos from the WHL’s Prince George Cougars who drafted him 116th overall in the 2022 WHL draft.

Holtvogt finished his minor league career with the Prince Albert Mintos last year, accumulating a 17-8-0 record, 2.54 GAA, and .906 SV%. He also got his first taste of SJHL action back in 2022-23, where he suited up for 30 minutes during one of the Broncos final games that season.

The Humboldt Broncos are proud to announce the acquisition of 2004-born defenseman Orin Olson from the Lloydminster Bobcats in exchange for the playing rights to Ben Costantino and a PDF.

Olson, from Chaplin, SK, played 50 games with the Bobcats last season, picking up 13 points (3g,10a) along with 111 PIMs. He added 3 points in 6 playoff games.

The Broncos suffered their first defeat of the season in an uncharacteristically poor performance on home ice, losing 6-2 on Friday night against the Yorkton Terriers.

Losses need to be the forefront of learning, and the Broncs will have a decent amount to learn about what not to do when taking on a high-powered offence like the Terriers. 60-minutes filled with unmitigated mistakes, trips to the penalty box, and loss of assignments led to chasing the game from nearly the opening faceoff.

A solid set of weekend victories for the Humboldt Broncos to open up the regular season. 

Brayden Klimosko picked up his 200th career victory and secured his first as his hometown’s head coach in the Humboldt Broncos’ season opening 6-3 victory over the Notre Dame Hounds. 

The Humboldt Broncos are proud to announce the hiring of Brayden Klimosko as the next Head Coach and GM, effective immediately.

Klimosko is no stranger to the roots of the community and the organization. Born and raised in Humboldt, his skates hit the ice at the Elgar Petersen Arena as a youngster and eventually played for the Broncos for three full seasons from 2005-2008 winning two SJHL Championships and one National Championship.

After six seasons at the helm of the Humboldt Broncos, Head Coach and GM, Scott Barney is advancing to the next stage of his career, as the Head Coach of the Ontario Hockey League’s (OHL) Sudbury Wolves.

Barney began his Humboldt Broncos’ journey as the Assistant Coach following the Broncos bus tragedy, then was promoted to Interim Head Coach following a coaching change midway through the 2018-19 season. He went on to lead the Broncos to a 14-6-1 record to finish the season, after which then Interim tag was lifted.

The Humboldt Broncos had a third period lead but couldn’t contain the top line of Melfort and dropped to 0-2 in the SJHL’s Semi Final Series with a 4-3 loss on Friday night.

Once again, it was Melfort’s high-end threats who proved to be the difference makers in the game. Minus an empty net goal in Game 1, outside of their top line, and their first pairing of defensemen, no other player has scored against Ben Motew in the first two games of the series.

The Humboldt Broncos are two legs up in their opening round playoff series against the Weyburn Red Wings following a pair of successful outings at the EPA this weekend.  

On Friday night, the Broncos got a solid all-round performance for a 6-1 statement over the Wings.  

Ben Costantino, who led all rookie defensemen in goals and points, picked up his first career playoff goal beating Red Wings Netminder, Dazza Mitchell. 

The Humboldt Broncos took a step forward in the SJHL league standings with their away win over the Battlefords North Stars on Friday night. Then, they slid back from their third place standings with a home ice loss the next night. It’s a race to the finish line for teams who have locked up their playoff spots making the first-round picture clearer in the fast approaching post-season. Here’s the breakdown of the two games.
