The Saskatoon Blades revealed their updated pre-season roster…having trimmed the training camp total from 72 to 35.
That consists of four goaltenders, 12 defencemen and 19 forwards. Among them are four 15-year-olds, born in 2003, who can’t be full-time regulars while a pair of 16-year-olds…goaltender Cam Beson and defenceman Alex Ozar…are not signed as of yet. Assuming that doesn’t happen, Saskatoon’s roster is 29 players…three goalies, nine blueliners and 17 forwards. Following is the Bridge City Bunch roster from the team’s website…
