After what was described as a "strong showing" in training camp, the Swift Current Broncos have signed Christian Riemer to a WHL contract.

The defenceman spent last season with the Swift Current Legionnaires in the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League, totaling 20 points (9 G, 11 A) over 40 games in his first season at the AAA level.

The 17-year-old was in the lineup for the Broncos Tuesday night in Moose Jaw for a 4-0 rookie game win against the Warriors.

The Broncos now look to Riemer's hometown of Regina for two games in an exhibition tournament this weekend.
