Former Home Hardware Midget AAA Legionnaire and current Swift Current Broncos forward Ethan Regnier has been named the captain of the Swift Current Broncos for the upcoming season.

Regnier has played two full seasons with the Broncos, and had career numbers of 10 goals and 31 points in 68 games last season.

He also played two seasons with the Legionnaires, tallying 28 goals and 72 points at the Midget AAA level.

Regnier takes over the Broncos' reins from last year's captain Tanner Nagel.

Alternate captains will be named at a later date.

Regnier and the Broncos open the season Saturday at home to the Calgary Hitmen.
