The Credit Union iplex in Swift Current is getting a major upgrade with the installation of a brand new video-capable scoreclock.

City of Swift Current Facilities Manager Chris Pool says the finishing touches on the installation of the clock were made on Friday. "As of [Friday] morning, we had everything up and running and they've tested it all, and it looks to be going very well... the video portion will come at a later date, hopefully before the first Bronco game."
 
The new scoreclock features an LED screen that will display advertisements and promotions. The clock isn't any taller and therefore does not sit any closer to ice level but it is wider to allow for the screens. Pool added "I think it gives the facility a little more opportunity for maybe some other events or gives the fans a better opportunity to enjoy the game."
 
The old scoreclock, which was originally installed in 1998, will be moved to the Fairview Arenas and the Stockade Building.
