Former Lakers joins WHL Broncos coaching staff

A former member of the Fort Frances Lakers has been hired as an assistant coach in the Western Canada Hockey League.

Roshen Jaswal joins the Swift Current Broncos.

Jaswal was a member of the Lakers’ back-to-back championship wins in 2015 and 2016.

The native of Burnaby, B.C., registered 30 points over 46 games during the two seasons.

He added another 10 points in 19 SIJHL playoff games

His play with the Lakers earned Jaswal a scholarship to St. Olaf College in Minnesota, where he skated for the school’s NCAA Division III team.

He turned pro in 2020, playing in the ECHL, FPHL and SPHL, where he finished his career with a championship playing for the Roanoke Rail Yard Dawgs in 2023.

Jaswal turned to the coaching ranks after his playing days and was most recently serving as head coach for a U15 team in Vancouver before gaining employment with Swift Current.

He was also serving as a scout for his alma mater.
