Broncos Sign Martin

Press Release

Swift Current Bronco General Manager and Head Coach, Mark Lamb announced that they have signed defenceman Brycen Martin to a Western Hockey League contract.

Martin was selected second overall by the Broncos in the recent 2011 WHL Bantam Draft. The 6’1”, 160 pound defenceman completed his second season with the Calgary Bisons of the Alberta Major Bantam Hockey League. In 31 games played this season, the Calgary, AB product recorded 42 points through six goals and 36 assists.

"We thought Martin was the most dynamic defenceman in the draft so we were very happy with the selection", says Bronco Assistant General Manager and Director of Player Personnel, Jamie Porter. "He skates and carries the puck very well, and we think he will be a valuable asset to our power play at quite a young age."
