The Swift Current Broncos announced today that the team and Head Coach Devan Praught have mutually agreed to part ways.

This comes after Praught was suspended indefinitely, for an alleged violation of the Western Hockey League Standards of Conduct earlier this month. The Broncos stated nine days later that they would be conducting their own review of Hockey Operations within its organization.

According to a media release issued from the WHL team, Taras McEwen will continue to fill the role as Interim Head Coach for the remainder of the season.

“As an organization we would like to thank Devan for his all of his hard work during two-and-a-half seasons with the club and wish him all the best moving forward,” said General Manager Chad Leslie.

There will be no further comment at this time.
