If you are in the United States and would like a copy of Sudden Death: The Incredible Saga of the 1986 Swift Current Broncos, it is available through amazon.com.
I am told that the books ships one or two days after an order is received.
At least one WHL fan in the Seattle area has received his copy and has ordered another.
If you are in Canada and can’t find it in your favourite bookstore, please check with a store manager as to availability.
Thank you!

Portland’s record in that category is held by D Andrew Ference (221 games, Feb. 18, 1995 to Oct. 11, 1998).

The Moose Jaw Warriors have released Russian F Nikita Zagryadskiy, 17. A 6-foot-3, 193-pounder, he had gotten into only three games and was pointless. . . . This leaves the Warriors without any imports on their roster. They selected Zagryadskiy in the 2012 CHL import draft in which they also selected German F Frederik Tiffels, 17. He is with the USHL’s Muskegon Lumberjacks.
