The soon-to-be-vacant Swift Current Broncos Head Coach/General Manager job is garnering a lot of attention from those in the hockey world.

 

     Broncos Chairman of the Board of Directors, Al Stewart says they will meet today to form a selection committee in order to continue the process.  He admits that the position or positions look to be highly sought after.  "In the last few days, we've received resumes; we've received phone calls from all directions of the globe actually.  We have resumes from people who would like to return to the WHL from the NHL.  We have resumes from other pro leagues, from people who are coaching in Europe, as well as College and Junior A.  There is a vast array of them actually."

     Stewart concedes that there are some quality candidates already within the organization.  "We have had success from promoting from within at times.  We think we have a very strong organization right now, and if those people desire to move up, they will be given the opportunity to apply for the job and interview for the job.  We would certainly give them the right, which they deserve, to try and take the next step."

     Dean Chynoweth officially resigned from the position on Friday after five seasons.  He will join the New York Islanders of the NHL as an Assistant Coach next season.
