Swift Current Broncos News Release

The Swift Current Broncos are pleased to announce that team captain Zack Smith has signed an entry level pro contract with the Ottawa Senators.

Smith was drafted by Ottawa in the third round 79th over-all at this year's NHL Entry Draft.

Smith is excited with the new challenges ahead: "When I was drafted I was excited, now being signed, it's even more exciting. I am looking forward to taking the next step and playing pro." Zack says the last two seasons in a Bronco uniform were instrumental in his development. "The biggest key in my development was defining my role, I know what type of player they expect me to be."

Smith, from Maple Creek SK, played four years with the Broncos. He led the team in scoring last season with 22 goals and 69 points in 72 games.

Broncos' Head Coach and General Manager Dean Chynoweth says: "It is nice to see a player of Zack's character and commitment be rewarded with not only being drafted, but now being signed by the Senators organization. We wish him all the best in his pursuit to play in the NHL."
