Clarke Caswell, a product of the Brandon Wheat Kings U18 AAA program, has been named the captain of the Swift Current Broncos for the upcoming WHL season. The 2006-born forward, known for his high hockey IQ and leadership skills, has earned this honor after demonstrating a strong work ethic and impressive playmaking abilities during his time with the Broncos. Caswell, originally selected 6th overall in the 2021 WHL Prospects Draft, has steadily developed into a key player for Swift Current, both on and off the ice. This past summer, he was selected by the Seattle Kraken in the 5th round, 141st overall of the NHL Entry Draft.
In the 2024-25 season, Caswell will look to lead by example, continuing to build on his offensive prowess and playmaking vision. His appointment as captain reflects not only his talent but his capacity to inspire younger teammates in the Broncos’ efforts. Caswell’s journey from the Wheat Kings to the Broncos highlights the developmental focus of the WHL, particularly in producing top-tier leadership and skill in young players. With his new role, expectations are high for Caswell to be a central figure in Swift Current’s push for playoff contention.
‘C’ is for Clarke!
