Swift Current, Sask. - The Swift Current Broncos announced today that they have acquired 2002-born defenceman Mason Ward from the Brandon Wheat Kings in exchange for 2003-born defenceman Kayden Sadhra-Kang.

Ward, from Lloydminster, Alta., was originally a listed player by the Red Deer Rebels and joined them for the 2019-20 season. He was traded to the Wheat Kings before the 2021-22 season.

"Kayden has done a terrific job with us during his time here," said Broncos general manager Chad Leslie. "He has gotten himself to the point where he plays reliable minutes, contributes in numerous situations and helped us get to where we are today. He is a terrific teammate and will be missed, we wish him all the best"

This season Ward has skated in 30 of Brandon's 38 games recording 10 points (4-6-10) and racking up 70 penalty minutes. Over his WHL career, split between Red Deer and Brandon, Ward has recorded 40 points (13-27-40) in 154 games along with 235 penalty minutes.

The 6'5'', right-shot defenceman is expected to be in the Broncos lineup when they host the Medicine Hat Tigers on Tuesday night.

Sadhra-Kang, from Richmond, B.C., was acquired by the Broncos from the Lethbridge Hurricanes early in the 2021-22 season and played 90 games for Swift Current, scoring 23 points (4-19-23). The Broncos would like to thank him for his contributions and wish him luck in Brandon.
