A former Swift Current Broncos star will see yet another prestigious honour come his way in June.

Former Broncos captain and Memorial Cup-winner Sheldon Kennedy was announced by Hockey Canada as one of three members in the 2020 class for the Order of Hockey in Canada.

Kennedy was a prolific player for the Broncos from 1986-89, recording 340 combined points (155 G, 185 A) over 190 regular-season, playoff, and Memorial Cup games.

He and the Broncos won the 1989 Memorial Cup, and Kennedy also took part in both the 1988 and 1989 IIHF World Junior Championships - winning in '88 - racking up seven goals and 13 points in 14 games.

Then, after a nine-year professional career split between the NHL, AHL, IHL, and German League, Kennedy turned his focus to the prevention of abuse - not just in the sport.

Kennedy notably roller-bladed across Canada in 1998 in support of sexual abuse victims - an effort that raised $1.2 million.

He then co-founded Respect Group in 2004 - an organization whose focus is the prevention of bullying, abuse, harassment, and discrimination.

Other honours already bestowed on Kennedy include the Hockey Canada Order of Merit, Alberta Order of Excellence, and the Order of Canada.

Kennedy will officially be honoured at the Hockey Canada Foundation Gala, which runs June 15-16 in Niagara Falls, Ont.
