The S-J-H-L held a dispersal draft Monday to help re-stock the Humboldt Broncos’ roster.
The Broncos selected 10 players…two 1998-born overagers and eight 1999-born…from nine of the 11 other teams. Melfort surrendered two players to Humboldt while Estevan will have a player plucked from them in the future and Flin Flon gained an exemption from losing a player to the Broncos. Of the 10 players Humboldt picked, one was a defenceman and nine were forwards. The Broncos will operate in the 2018-19 season, despite the tragic bus crash on April 6th that claimed the lives of 16 people…11 of them players. Most of the surviving 13 players aren’t likely to suit up with Humboldt this season due to age eligibility or injuries sustained from the crash. Following is the news release from the S-J-H-L…
