Swift Current Broncos head coach and director of player personnel, Manny Viveiros, was named today as the WHL's coach of the year.

The Broncos finished the regular season with the second-best record in the WHL, after the Moose Jaw Warriors, going 48-17-5-2.

Viveiros, in his second season at the helm of the Broncos, was the Eastern Conference Finalist, and edged the West's Dennis Williams of the Everett Silvertips.

Swift Current starts their league-final playoff series against Everett Friday at home.
