After a number of key departures, the Swift Current Broncos are starting to fill out their hockey operations staff.

Former Kamloops Blazers and Spokane Chiefs regional scout Gary Aubin is Swift Current's new Director of Player Personnel.

Aubin spent the last eleven seasons scouting Northern Alberta for the Chiefs and worked for the Blazers from 1992 to 2007.

“This is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for your whole life,” Aubin said in an official team release. “These opportunities are rare. It’s been my passion for a long time and I’m grateful to move into my new role.”

Aubin was also the chief instructor for the Canadian Trinitiy Hockey School for fourteen years. 

“We’re really excited to work with Gary,” said Broncos Coach/Director of Hockey Operations Dean Brockman. “His history in the league speaks for itself. We’re looking forward to many successful years ahead.”

Aubin replaces Jamie Porter who will officially step down at the end of the month.
