The Swift Current Broncos opened their B.C. road swing with a 2-1 loss to the Prince George Cougars on Wednesday night.

It was a back-and-forth game throughout with both teams getting some chances through two periods, but the game was tied at 0-0 after one, and 1-1 after two. Koehn Ziemmer scored for Prince George, while Josh Filmon got the Broncos on the board with a powerplay goal.

The Swift Current Broncos earned a point in what was a wild matchup in the Central Division on Friday night at InnovationPlex.

The Broncos ultimately fell 8-7 in overtime in the contest that saw the Broncos hold three different three-goal leads.

Jace McFaul, Rylan Gould, and Brady Birnie all scored before eight minutes had elapsed in the first period, and the Broncos seemed to be off to the races. However, Gavin McKenna would make it 3-1 before a short-handed Josh Filmon goal made it 4-1 to end the first period.

The Swift Current Broncos finally found their offensive stride on Wednesday night in a 6-2 win over the Brandon Wheat Kings at Westoba Place.

Brady Birnie tied the game on a breakaway feed from Rylan Gould to tie it up 1-1, but a late Brett Hyland powerplay goal had the Broncos down one through one.

“I thought we held a lot of the play, right from the start,” he said. “A lot of the things we talked about, we did early and consistently so it was good to see.”
