It's not so much of a 'Where are they now?', as it is a 'How well are they thriving?' for members of the 2018 WHL Champion Swift Current Broncos roster that have a lot of Broncos fans' eyes on them at the next level.

After hoisting the Ed Chynoweth Cup earlier this spring, nine now-former Broncos have been on rosters split over three leagues - the AHL, ECHL, and Finnish Elite League.

Tyler Steenbergen

van Lake-born sniper had 145 goals and 292 points in 312 games in a Broncos uniform - notably, posting 51 and 47-goal efforts his last two regular seasons in the southwest.

Glenn Gawdin

The two-year captain has been making strides in the AHL with the Stockton Heat, an affiliate of the Calgary Flames.

Gawdin has six goals and an even dozen points in 26 games, and is coming off by far his best season at the Major Junior level.

The product of Richmond, B.C., posted 56 goals and 125 points in his overage season last year - a point-total that ranked second in the WHL. Before that, Gawdin's previous high was 59 in the 2016-17 season, his first as captain.

He wrapped up his long-tenured Broncos career with 149 goals and 361 points in 363 total games.

Aleksi Heponiemi

The third linemate of a nightmarish combination for opposing defensive units to start last season, the Broncos' own 'Finnish Flash' has been showcasing his skill set back in his home country.

Playing for the Oulun Kärpät of the SM-liiga, Heponiemi has eight goals and 26 points in 29 games - a mark good for second on the team.

Heponiemi's progress was profiled earlier this month, upon the news he was invited to the Finnish U-20 camp for the second straight year, ahead of the World Junior Championship.

He will learn if he secured a roster spot in the coming days.

Colby Sissons

Undrafted at the WHL and NHL levels, Sissons is an example of hard work and determination paying off.

The property of the New Jersey Devils has six assists in 18 games with the Binghamton Devils of the AHL.

The 6-foot-2, 185-pound product of Edmonton made steady progress in his three seasons with the Broncos.

Sissons posted 22 points (3 G, 19 A) in 71 games in the 2015-16 season. He then increased that total to 28 (6 G, 22 A) in eight-fewer games the next season, adding four goals and six points in 14 playoff games.

Sissons capped off his WHL career last season, posting a point-total good for T-3 among defencemen in the league. He chipped in 71 points (13 G, 58 A) in 72 games in the regular season, adding 27 more in 29 playoff/Memorial Cup games.

Matteo Gennaro

Though logging a short-stint with the Broncos, Gennaro's presence was certainly felt.

The forward came over via blockbuster trade last season from the Calgary Hitmen, posting 28 goals and 54 points in 45 regular-season games. Gennaro then added nine goals and 18 points in the WHL playoffs. That included a dramatic hat trick against Moose Jaw in Game 4 of the second round.

Joining Steenbergen on the Tucson Roadrunners roster, the St. Albert, Alberta native has five goals and eight points in 26 games.

Beck Malenstyn

The other big piece of the blockbuster deal with the Hitmen, Malenstyn's stint was even more brief with the Broncos.

Coming back from injury later in the regular season, the product of White Rock, B.C. played in just 38 regular-season games with the Broncos, contributing 17 goals and 29 points. He added 13 points in 29 games over the WHL Championship run and Memorial Cup. 

Malenstyn, drafted by the Washington Capitals in 2015, currently has two goals and three points in 26 games with the AHL's Hershey Bears.

Giorgio Estephan

The former Lethbridge Hurricanes captain was one of two key cogs the Broncos acquired in another blockbuster trade with the Hurricanes prior to the deadline last season.

Estephan had 12 goals and 28 points in 30 games in the regular season, and came alive in the playoffs. The Edmonton product piled in 13 goals and 23 points in 26 games, adding three goals and six points in three Memorial Cup contests.

The majority of Estephan's season this year has been spent with the ECHL's Newfoundland Growlers, where he has 29 points (13 G, 16 A) in 26 games to lead the team. He also has a point in three games with the AHL's Toronto Marlies.

Stuart Skinner

The ace backstop that was part of the deal with Estephan and Tanner Nagel from Lethbridge was instantly a fan favourite with the Broncos.

The Edmonton-born netminder logged 25 regular-season appearances with Swift, posting a 2.68 goals-against-average and .914 save-percentage.

Skinner shifted into another gear in the playoffs, bumping his numbers up to a 2.20 GAA and .932 save-percentage, playing in 26 games.

The Edmonton Oilers draft pick (3rd round - 78th overall, 2017) has 18 starts at the ECHL level with the Wichita Thunder this season, with a 2.93 GAA and .914 save-percentage.

Skinner added two starts with the AHL's Bakersfield Condors, with decent numbers posted (3.04 GA, .880 save-%)

Josh Anderson

The defensive defenceman, who prided himself on his grit, was acquired in yet another trade by the Broncos last season, scooping him up from the Prince George Cougars.

Anderson tallied just two goals and nine points in 58 total games with Swift Current, but aided inside the Broncos blueline, helping bolster the backend.

A third-round pick of the Colorado Avalanche in the 2016 draft (71st overall), Anderson has spent his season in the ECHL, chipping in an assist over 17 games with the Utah Grizzlies.

Elsewhere, seven regular rotation players now find themselves on rosters sprinkled around the WHL:

Artyom Minulin (Everett Silvertips)
Sahvan Khaira (Everett Silvertips)
Max Patterson (Everett Silvertips)
Kaden Elder (Calgary Hitmen)
Jacson Alexander (Edmonton Oil Kings)
Andrew Fyten (Edmonton Oil Kings)
Noah King (Spokane Chiefs)

Meanwhile, two others are back in their respect home provinces playing Junior 'A':

Mackenzie Wight (Alberni Valley Bulldogs - BCHL)
Kole Gable (Fort McMurray Oil Barons - AJHL)
