The curtain went up on the 2008-09 Swift Current Broncos season with a huge 6-1 win over Moose Jaw at the Crushed Can.

    Cody Eakin picked up a hat trick and an assist in the game. Jordan Peddle, Eric Doyle and Justin Dowling also scored for the Broncos. Neal Prokop scored the only goal for the Warriors.

    Travis Yonkman had an easy night in net for the Broncos making 18 saves. Warriors' starting goalie Todd Matthews allowed all six Broncos goals on 26 shots before being pulled for Devin Dubyk. Both goalies combined for 36 saves.

    The two squads face-off again tonight, this time at the Credit Union iplex for the Broncos' home opener. You can hear tonight's contest on the Eagle 94.1FM with the pre-game show at 7:00pm, and play-by-play from Jon Keen and Tim Tisdale at 7:30pm.

    Before tonight's game, the Broncos will host the Blue and White pre-game party at the Kiwanis Ball Diamond (located north of the iplex on 19th Ave NE) starting at 5:00pm. Refreshments will be served, and there will also be live entertainment from Blackwater and Glenna Switzer.
