The Swift Current Broncos have added more Richmond flavour to their roster with the signing last week of forward Owen Seidel to a standard Western Hockey League player agreement.
The 16-year-old Richmond Minor Hockey graduate is coming off an impressive season in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League with Greater Vancouver Canadians, managing 36 points in 40 games. He was one of five players signed by the Broncos based on strong performances at the club’s training camp — joining forward Tyler Adams and defencemen Jaydan Gordon, Colby Sissons and Matthew Parsons.
Seidel was Swift Current’s seventh round pick (144th overall) in the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft. He has already suited up in two pre-season games, including Sunday’s 3-2 pre-season shootout win over Red Deer.
The Broncos’ roster already features 17-year-old Seafair grad Glenn Gawdin who managed 22 points in his rookie season.
