DeBrusk draft

It's a historic day for the Swift Current Broncos.

For the first time in franchise history the Broncos have had players picked in the first round of the NHL draft in back-to-back seasons.

The Boston Bruins made Broncos forward Jake DeBrusk their selection at 14th overall in the 2015 draft.

"It's pretty cool," DeBrusk told Sportsnet. "It gets a little nerve-wracking and Boston is one of the teams I felt I had a good interview with. Just kind of waiting and waiting and it was super exciting to hear my name."

DeBrusk was part of back-to-back-to-back picks for the Bruins after they dealt Dougie Hamilton and Milan Lucic earlier in the day.

The Edmonton product scored 42 goals in his sophomore WHL season to lead the Broncos. In addition to the skill it takes to score at that level, DeBrusk is known for his knack for the net and a willingness to go to the hard areas.

He joins his former captain Colby Cave in the Bruins organization as Cave was signed by Boston early in the off-season.

DeBrusk follows defenceman Julius Honka as a first round pick for Swift Current. Dallas picked Honka 14th overall in the 2014 draft.

The draft also earned DeBrusk bragging rights at home as he was picked 35 spots higher than his father Louie who went 49th to the New York Rangers in 1989.

Meanwhile fellow Broncos forward Glenn Gawdin also had his name called at the 2015 draft. With their 4th round selection, 116th overall, the St. Louis Blues selected Gawdin.

The NHL Entry Draft will wrap up later today.
