Sources: Chynoweth Leaving Broncos

Breaking News......

It appears as if Swift Current Broncos Head Coach / General Manager Dean Chynoweth is moving on.


He's set to resign his position with the Broncos at a news conference set for tomorrow morning at the Credit Union i-plex for another opportunity.


Chynoweth was hired as the Broncos Head Coach / GM back in June of 2004 and has been in the present role for the last five seasons.


More details coming. The Eagle 94.1 FM will try and carry the news conference live.

1. your broadcast partner
2. Dean Brockman
3. Michael Dyck

funny Habscheid has a gig already because that would've been the 1st name tossed out..........coincidental timing of this announcement?

Sad,Sad,Sad... When we could have had Marc here. The board should be kicked right in the ass. What time is this news conference? Please get some of these no brains off the damn board. They are a joke.

What is Dean going to do? Any chane Tim Kehler can get the job as head coach? I think we should go for Tim squared behind the bench.......you would have your local flavour with Tim Tisdale. Maybe we could add Danny Lambert as a second assistant.

Why do so many people in Swift Current have this ridiculous assumption that if Marc Habscheid was hired by the Broncos the CHL might as well mail the Memorial Cup to Swift Current. Marc is a quality coach and individual but he's not the end-all be-all savior of a hockey franchise. Every single team in the Dub wants the same thing...to win. I knew that if Dean re-signed the Bronco fans out there would be crying about brutal timing and how "WE COULD HAVE HAD MARC". I takes more than a coach and GM to make a championship team. If Dean is moving on then good luck to him and thanks for the past 5 years. I know the Broncos head coaching job will be a highly sought after position and you can bet that the board will have some quality candidates to choose from.

I think Tim Kehler should garner heavy consideration.

How could you have had Marc? Last I checked he accepted another job with Chilliwack....at the time Chynoweth was still with the Broncos. Are you going to say that Chynoweth should have been axed to hire Habscheid? If so....you have no idea how the world operates.

The board DID screw up.
1)leaving Dean in a lame duck scenario
2) should have either supported Dean or not to be able to attract best coach/gm (Habschied or not)
3)they made the worst decision and should take responsibility

It, from what I understand, was NOT a foregone conclusion that Marc Habscheid would have been offered, or would have accepted, the position with the Bronco org. Would it not be better to stop dwelling on 'what might have been', wish BOTH Dean & Marc well in their new endeavors, and start focusing on the new look and direction of the SC Broncos? I've never encountered more negativity in my life.

TSN is reporting Chynoweth is taking an assistant job with the New York Islanders. Article is on the website.

Ladies & Gentleman:

Habscheid was NOT interested in being the coach of the Bronco's. He knows the situation all to well, and the situation was...NO WIN for Habschied!!!

Now if the position was Coach/G.M, that is an altogether situation. A guaranteed long term comittment, now there would be discussion.

No way on earth would Habscheid go without TOTAL control. With all due respect to the Board, you never had a chance even if your were remotely interested. The best thing happened for Habscheid and his son Zach. They can come home and enjoy the summers and not be the target of every move made, good and or bad!!!
