It shouldn't be a surprise that Carson Dyck is the type of player most coaches look for.

His father Mike is a former WHL player and accomplished coach who once guided the Lethbridge Hurricanes to the WHL final.

His uncle Joel is a former WHL and professional player who had two different stints with the Swift Current Broncos.

"They basically teach me everything about hockey," Dyck said. "All the things I need to know, on and off the ice stuff... they've been a huge part in having got here."

Carson is following in his family's footsteps as those same Swift Current Broncos picked him early in the second round of this year's WHL Bantam Draft.

"My uncle used to play there so that's exciting," Dyck said. "I hear it's a great organization, that's what he tells me, and a small town where everyone knows everyone. He's really excited for me to play. There's a lot good people there and it's a good place to play hockey."

Dyck put up 49 points in 33 regular season games last season on the Alberta Bantam AAA winning Lethbridge Golden Hawks.

"I'd describe myself as a two-way centre who makes plays and works hard," Dyck noted. "Can create energy and match up against big lines."

"When I match-up I don't only focus on shutting them down I try to create offence. Obviously angles are huge playing against a lot of skilled guys who can go side to side. Stick on puck, body to body and stay physical with them."

The Broncos were happy to get Dyck 26th overall in the draft and feel he's someone who will be there for them when the chips are down.

"He brings git and experience," said Broncos assistant GM Jamie Porter. "He understands how to do the little things. There's an offensive upside there as he grows and gets older and stronger we perceive him as a two-way guy for us. He was good in the tough games. He was good when it mattered."

The Golden Hawks didn't have just one or two big scorers to took them to a provincial title.

"Our motto was all-in and everyone had that mindset," Dyck said. "It didn't matter your ice time or where you played it mattered about the team and you played your role."

Dyck noted he wants to play for Swift Current in the WHL one day and intends to attend training camp this fall.
