BRONCOS SUSPEND COACH
SWIFT CURRENT, Sask. – The Swift Current Broncos have suspended head coach Devan Praught indefinitely due to an alleged violation of the Western Hockey League’s standards of conduct, the team announced Tuesday.
Praught’s suspension follows an unspecified on-ice incident that occurred during a Broncos practice on Monday.
Assistant coach Taras McEwen will assume head coaching duties until further notice as the WHL Security Network conducts an investigation into the matter, the team said.
The 36-year-old Praught was appointed as the Broncos’ head coach last year after previously serving as the interim coach, stepping in after the departure of coach and general manager Dean Brockman in October 2021.
In a release, the Broncos stated that there would be no additional comment on the situation.

This person will take all the employees, volunteers, and players into a room. You hook up a PowerPoint and you go through all the policies and OHS Legislation around workplace bullying and the steps to be taken if you believe you are being violated. This is not a complex situation. So instead of sitting on the Board and using the team to advance individual businesses, network, be a social gadfly, virtue… Read more »
