The Swift Current Broncos have added a veteran hockey man into the mix as their new Assistant General Manager.

 

     On Monday, the Broncos announced the hiring of Sheldon Ferguson as their new Assistant General Manager to Dean Chynoweth.

     Ferguson most recently was the Director of Player Personnel/Director of Amateur Scouting for the Carolina Hurricanes from 1995-2007, where he achieved the ultimate hockey goal of winning a Stanley Cup in 2006.  From 1991-1995, he was Director of Scouting for the Canadian Hockey Association’s National Team and National Under-18 Teams.  There, he won three consecutive World Junior Championship gold medals, and two gold medals with the Under-18 teams.  He has worked with numerous WHL teams in many capacities, from scouting to coaching and managing.

     “I am very excited about Sheldon joining the Broncos' organization.  It is not often you can hire a person in Junior hockey with Sheldon’s credentials and accomplishments.  He will be a welcome addition to our staff, and we look forward to him getting started," commented Head Coach/GM Dean Chynoweth.

     Ferguson will join the team tomorrow in Moose Jaw.  He replaces outgoing Assistant GM Eldon Moberg, who is leaving the team after 15 years.
