SWIFT CURRENT SK – The Swift Current Broncos will be inducting Sheldon Kennedy into the team’s Hall of Fame May 27th 2016 at 7pm.

The ‘Denim, Boots and Diamonds’ event will be held at the Credit Union i-Plex Curling Rink.

If he shows up to that he's just harming himself and his holistic well being. Sheldon Kennedy should leave Swift Current in the dust and never look back. He goes back and he can remember how this town absolutely abandoned him and countless others.

I don't give this guy an ounce of respect. They wanted to play hockey so they did and they did what they had to do to play hockey and wreak havoc on the town. Let me say this I grew up in Swift in the 1980s and those Broncos pillaged the females in our school. He's no victim.
