Two of Swift Current's best hockey teams took to the ice yesterday with the public for a Family Day skate.

The Swift Current Broncos and the Swift Current Legionnaires laced them up at the Innovation Credit Union iPlex, part of Family Fun Week put on by the City of Swift Current.

With both teams well inside their respective playoff pictures, Swift Current Mayor Denis Perrault said that helped drive the attendance up from previous years.

"The success they've seen on the ice, we're absolutely seeing off the ice. We're seeing all these players just really embrace the City of Swift Current," he said. "I think we had a lot more people out, for sure we did. I know they ran out of hot dogs at one point, it was absolutely bumping. I would say that we had more this year than the past for sure."

The two-hour long event was the first of six events the City of Swift Current has planned for their Family Fun Week.
