HEAD COACH AND GENERAL MANAGER

Brayden Klimosko

Brayden Klimosko returns to the Humboldt Broncos with deep roots in both the community and the organization. Born and raised in Humboldt, Brayden grew up on the ice at the Elgar Petersen Arena and proudly wore the green and gold for three full seasons from 2005–2008. During his time as a player, he helped lead the Broncos to two SJHL Championships and a National Championship, cementing his legacy as a key part of one of the most successful eras in team history.

Klimosko began his coaching career where it all started — right here in Humboldt — serving as an Assistant Coach with the Broncos from 2013–2016. His coaching journey continued as he took on the Head Coach role with the Battlefords North Stars in 2018. Over the next six seasons, he built a reputation as one of the most successful and respected coaches in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL), earning three SJHL Coach of the Year honours and adding two more SJHL Championships to his resume.

His leadership, experience, and passion for the game are sure to be a driving force behind the team’s pursuit of success.
