The Swift Current Broncos will play their first home game of the 2017-18 WHL regular season on October 7th.

The team announced on Monday that they will play host to the Kootenay ICE on October 7th in their home-opener.

Despite most WHL teams playing their first home games nearly two weeks earlier, the Broncos will begin the season on the road as the summer-long renovations at the Credit Union iPlex wrap up.

Last season, Swift Current got the better of the ICE in all four of their regular season meetings.

It was also announced on Monday that the Broncos will be in Saskatoon on September 22nd battling the Blades in their home-opener.

The rest of the 2017-18 WHL regular season schedule is set to be released on Tuesday at 1:00pm.
