Broncs coach Bryan Martin told the Red Deer Advocate the silver medal was incredible, given that the Broncs had lost all-star post Doug Bennett to injury late in the season. “I was extremely pleased with our showing. You can’t take anything away from these players. They gave it everything they had and it was almost enough. When we lost Bennett, we dind’t lose our momentum, which was key. Some of the players who weren’t getting as much floor time came on and picked up the slack.
