Humboldt Broncos

The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) announced their players of the month for October, with Humboldt Broncos Tre Fouquette named the SuperU defenceman of the month.  

Throughout October, Fouquette averaged a point per game, with 14 (4G-10A) in 14 games.  

Failed tricks and lack of treats for the Humboldt Broncos during their 7-4 loss to the La Ronge Ice Wolves, as self-inflicted wounds and a lack of energy throughout the first and third period led to a spooky outcome on Tuesday’s Halloween inspired night.

The opening period lacked the normal intensity we had been accustomed to seeing from the Broncos’ games over the past few weeks, while Mason Bueckert scored the lone goal to give La Ronge a 1-0 lead.

The second period was back to business for Humboldt. Needless to say, 20 minutes doesn’t win too many hockey games.

The Humboldt Broncos have named their leadership group for the 2024-25 season. 

Landen Stromme will wear the “C” for the Broncos this season. The Choiceland product is in his third season with Humboldt. Last season, he had 19 points (8G-11A) in 49 games for Humboldt. So far this season, Stromme has three points (1G-2A) in nine games.  

There will be three assistant captains with the Broncos this year.  

For the second straight week, Humboldt Broncos Jacob Strizzi has been named the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) Bourgault Forward of the Week. 

Strizzi is currently on a six-game scoring streak after he found the back of the net in all three Broncos games this past week, including four goals in the back-to-back matchups with the Battlefords North Stars. He ended the week with eight points (5G-3A).  

The Humboldt Broncos will try shake off a loss earlier this week to the Estevan Bruins as they renew acquaintances with a Nutrien Division rival in the Battlefords North Stars. 

On Friday, the two teams will meet in North Battleford for the first time in the 2024-25 regular season and will face off on Saturday night for a rematch at the Elgar Petersen Arena.  

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 three-game point streak was snapped on Wednesday night thanks to a 5-3 loss against the Estevan Bruins.  

It was a tough start for the Broncos that left them trailing 3-0 after the first 20 minutes. Estevan capitalized on a delay game penalty from Humboldt’s Karson Kerbes after he shot the puck into the stands within his own zone. Hayden Pimm scored on the extra-man advantage to give the Bruins the early lead.  

The Humboldt Broncos emerged from the weekend taking five out of possible six points following a three game in three-day stretch that included a home and home set with the Kindersley Klippers and a Sunday matinee contest in Yorkton.  

Friday result: Kindersley 3 Humboldt 2 F/OT  

A blustery and rainy Saturday wasn’t a deterrent to the group sinking shovels into the soggy soil at the Memorial Site for the Humboldt Broncos bus tragedy.  

Members of the 2017 – 2018 Humboldt Broncos Memorial Committee and Broncos family members gathered on Saturday morning, October 5, for a ceremonial sod turning to mark to official beginning of the construction phase at the site.  

After a weeklong break the Humboldt Broncos will be back on the ice tonight in Kindersley against the Klippers.   

Last Friday, the Broncos suffered their first loss of the season with a 6-2 loss to the Yorkton Terriers.  

Head Coach Brayden Klimosko said it was good for the team to have extended time at practice before returning to action.
