The Swift Current Broncos suspended head coach Devan Praught indefinitely due to an alleged violation of the Western Hockey League's standards of conduct, the team's General Manager, Chad Leslie, announced on Tuesday, November 14.
The violation involved an alleged on-ice altercation with a player during Monday's practice. According to reports, Praught got into a physical altercation with defenseman Josh Fluker who is 17. During the altercation Praught can be seen swinging his stick at Fluker on camera. The situation is presently being examined by the WHL Security Network and, likely, the WHL's governing board.
After acting as the team's interim coach following the departure of coach and general manager Dean Brockman in October 2021, Praught, 36, was named the team's head coach last year.
