The first player to hoist the Ed Chynoweth Cup last year had his dreams of playing in the NHL put on hold yesterday when he was assigned.
Former Swift Current Bronco Glenn Gawdin joined a list of 20 other players the Calgary Flames cut from their NHL preseason camp.
Gawdin was sent down to the Stockton Heat to begin his professional career after tallying four assists in three preseason games with the Flames.
The Richmond, B.C. product captained the Broncos to their first WHL title last year in 25 years and recorded 157 points in 91 games combined between the regular season and playoffs.
