17-year-old defenceman Alex Ozar is expected to report to the La Ronge Ice Wolves of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. Ozar suited up for the Blades four times in the 2019 Pre-Season.

With the acquisition of Kjell Kjemhus yesterday, the Saskatoon Blades’ active roster now sits at 15 Forwards, 8 Defensemen and 2 Goaltenders.
