The Lethbridge Hurricanes will face the Swift Current Broncos this Tuesday, Oct 29th. Should be a fun and probably surprisingly well attended weekday game (Halloween costumes and energetic fans for "Former Lethbridge Hurricanes" vs "Current-but-maybe-soon-to-be-Former Lethbridge Hurricanes") with at least one additional subplot.
The last time the Broncos were in Lethbridge, it was Jan 5, 2013... a couple days before "the trade." Josh Derko did not dress in that game as he was injured. Merkley had no points, no penalties, and was not in the shootout. Broncos scored twice on Ty Rimmer in the shootout for the 3-2 victory. This will be the first meeting of the two teams since the trade.
Derko did not play in Canes most recent game. Hopefully he is able to make this one.
