In today's episode of The Farm Team podcast I am honored to be joined by a long-time friend and current member of the Gyergyoi Hockey Klub in the Hungary/Romania Erste Liga, Brance Orban. Brance recently departed back to his second home in the Eastern Bloc as he prepares to enter into his 9th professional hockey season & 4th season in the Erste Liga. Orbs hockey career has been nothing short of incredible and It’s a story of hard work and resiliency. This past season, the point-producing veteran forward finished 3rd in league scoring, with 22 goals and 31 assists in 36 games played.

Born and raised a Golden Sun in Taber, Alberta, Brance followed in the footsteps of his father, the late Chris, ‘Pistol’ Orban, and quickly became a young hockey and golf prodigy. Along with his athletic ability, Brance developed the gift of gab, and a sense of hospitality that goes unmatched.

As Brance continued his minor hockey journey the Orban family found themselves in both Calgary and Lethbridge playing for the Calgary Buffaloes Association, and the Lethbridge Athletic Association, respectively. After graduating from Catholic Central High School in Lethbridge Brance made the jump to the Alberta Junior Hockey League playing 3 full seasons with the Olds Grizzlys, a team familiar to the Orban family as his father Chris was a member of their inaugural 1981-82 season.

During his time in Olds Brance earned and secured himself an academic and athletic scholarship to play for the NCAA Division 1 Bemidji State Beavers in Bemidji, Minnesota. Brance played 4 seasons for the Beavers totaling 106 career games played with 53 pts and 20 pims. After his senior season Orbs went on play in the ECHL before heading overseas to begin his European professional hockey career with stops in Germany, Sweden, Hungary, and Romania.

Brance joins me today to talk about all things hockey and to learn more about his experience playing the game and how it has shaped him into the person he is today. This summer Brance also earned himself designation with the Professional Golfers Association of Canada by winning the tournament at the Highwood Golf Course in High River, Alberta granting him professional status in the incredibly difficult sport of golf.
