The Swift Current Broncos used their 1st round CHL import pick to take Slovakian Oliver Jokel yesterday.

     The 17 year-old 6'1, 170lb Slovakian centerman is described as an explosive skater who works hard.  The Broncos had the 36th pick overall in CHL import draft.

     Jokel is said to be excited to come over and play in the WHL.  He's expected to be at Broncos training camp in August.

     The Broncos have also released David Steiler who would have been both an over-age and an import for this season.
