The Opposition: The Broncos are sitting at .500 through their first 19 games. They look to be in a similar situation as last year, and will likely be in the mix for a playoff spot in the East. They recently acquired Brent Benson from Saskatoon to add to their offensive depth. GM/Head Coach Mark Lamb has built a nice core of defencemen led by Devils draftee Reece Scarlett and draft eligible Dillon Heatherington.
