Quotes from last night....

The Swift Current Broncos hosted their annual shareholders meeting last night. Both Broncos Director of Business Operations Jordan Wall and Chairman of the Board of Directors Al Stewart addressed the media after.

Jordan Wall on the $158k operating profit from last season....

"It was a really good year. It was really the first chance to see what we can do with a fully renovated rink. Our concessions went up, our marketing went up, our suites (revenue) went up. It really showed us what we can do when we fill the rink and go into playoffs."

Wall on where season tickets are at this season.....

"We are doing really good right now. We are at 1744 season tickets. Last year we finished with 1766. We are still pushing for 1800 season tickets this year and if things go well I believe we will get there."

Chairman of the Board of Directors Al Stewart on the operating profit....

"It's fantastic. We are always concerned about the financial aspect and you always know you are one or two bad seasons away from significant financial stress. The more that we can put away the better for us if and when we do have a bit of a struggle. In junior hockey, there's good times and bad, that's really just part of it."
