The senior Rosetown Redwings were to open the 2025-26 Cross Roads Hockey League season last Friday in Unity against the expansion Miners.

The Redwings open at home on Nov. 15 when they host the Kindersley Kodiaks.

Kyle Ireland is expected to return to the team after playing playing in Hafford for 2024-25, said manager Bob Clothier.

Ireland won’t play a lot because he’s also helping coach the Saskatoon Contacts. “But he said he’ll make as many games as he can,” said Clothier.

When a Redwing in recent years, Ireland often played on a line with leading scorers Jordan Johnston and Jared Jagow and generally matched them in offensive output.

Ireland “knows hockey and he’s a good hockey player,” said Clothier, who’d earlier announced the return of former Redwing Grady Ostrom and the recruitment of Kayden Ostrom, his younger brother.
