Swift Current suspends head coach indefinitely for violation of WHL conduct code

Nov 14, 2023 | 3:07 PM

SWIFT CURRENT, Sask. — The Swift Current Broncos have suspended head coach Devan Praught indefinitely due to an alleged violation of the Western Hockey League’s standards of conduct, the team announced Tuesday. 

Praught’s suspension follows an unspecified on-ice incident that occurred during a Broncos practice on Monday. 

Assistant coach Taras McEwen will assume head coaching duties until further notice as the WHL Security Network conducts an investigation into the matter, the team said.

The 36-year-old Praught was appointed as the Broncos’ head coach last year after previously serving as the interim coach, stepping in after the departure of coach and general manager Dean Brockman in October 2021.

In a release, the Broncos stated that there would be no additional comment on the situation.
