The Kirwan twins are headed north.
Gull Lake's Sam and Will Kirwan have signed with the Battlefords North Stars in the SJHL.
They both just graduated from the U18 AAA Swift Current Home Hardware Legionnaires.
Sam is a forward who had 16 goals and 22 assists last season.
“Sam is a great skater," said Stars Head Coach Connor Logan in a team release. "He’s first to pucks and is hard to defend. He is a versatile two-way player that’s gonna make some key contributions to our front end."
Will is a minute-eating defenceman who put up 5 goals and 35 assists.
"Will is the new era style defenceman," Logan said. "He sees the ice well, can move the puck, and can create a ton of offence from the back end. Another guy that has a lot of tools to draw on, and we see him being real effective in his first year of junior.”
The Stars drafted both Kirwans in the spring of 2023.
