The Swift Current Broncos opened their 2026 pre-season schedule Tuesday night at the Brandt Centre, falling 3-2 to the Regina Pats in the annual Rookie Game.<\/p>\n

Both teams came out with plenty of energy in the opening period, but neither side was able to find the back of the net. Broncos goaltender Wyatt Riemer turned aside all 11 shots he faced in the first to keep the game scoreless through 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

Swift Current broke through at 9:17 of the second period. Jaxon Dean opened the scoring for the Broncos, finishing a play set up by Cohenn Rotar and Easton Pitz to give Swift Current a 1-0 advantage.<\/p>\n

Regina responded at 15:32 when Cohen Handby found the back of the net to even the game at one.<\/p>\n

The Broncos regained the lead just under two minutes later. Rotar added a goal to his earlier assist, scoring at 17:26 off a feed from Luke Huska to send Swift Current into the second intermission with a 2-1 lead.<\/p>\n

Regina found the equalizer while shorthanded at 12:28 of the third period, as Braden Hordichuk made it 2-2. Just 20 seconds later, Hordichuk struck again, scoring what would stand as the game-winning goal and giving the Pats their first lead of the night at 3-2.<\/p>\n

The Broncos were unable to find the tying goal in the remaining minutes as Regina held on for the 3-2 victory.<\/p>\n

Swift Current finished the night 0-for-6 on the power play while holding Regina scoreless on two opportunities. The Pats held a 26-24 advantage in shots and won 38 of 67 faceoffs.<\/p>\n

The Broncos used a different goaltender in each period. Riemer stopped all 11 shots he faced in the first, Delano Pockar made five saves on six shots in the second, and Max Davis stopped seven of nine in the third.<\/p>\n

Swift Current continues its pre-season schedule Friday, September 4, when the Saskatoon Blades visit the InnovationPlex for the Broncos’ first home pre-season game. Puck drop is set for 7:00 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
