The Swift Current Abbey Resources Midget AA Broncos open their 2017-18 on the road tonight.

The Midget Broncos finished last season in 7th place in the 13-team league, with a record of 14-19-3, and lost in the first round in three games to the eventual league-winning Yorkton Terriers.

Looking to start the 2017-18 regular season off strong, the Swift Current Abbey Resources Midget AA Broncos squad is in Estevan against the Apex Bruins tonight at 8 p.m., and tomorrow evening at 5:15 p.m.

The Bruins were the hottest team in last year's regular season, racking up a record of 29-4-3-0 over the 36-game season.

After the southeast trip, and playing their third game in three days, the Broncos then return home on Sunday to face the Lumsden/Bethune Lions at Fairview West at 3 p.m.
