As the Swift Current Broncos hold their annual hockey school this week they're hopeful a new skilled import will be taking some defencemen to school this season.
Finnish forward Aleksi Heponiemi just finished a strong run for Finland at the Under 18 Ivan Hlinka tournament.
Heponiemi put up 5 assists in 4 games while centering Finland's top line.
The Broncos picked the skilled young forward in the recent CHL Import Draft and expect him to compete for a top six spot on the team at training camp.
Heponiemi put up 25 goals and 40 assists in 39 games for the Ilves U18 team in the Jr. B SM-sarja league last season
NHL Central Scouting has him as a player to watch for the 2017 NHL Draft.
Camp begins on Augus 24th at the Credit Union iPlex.
