The Humboldt Broncos made a couple of moves before the trade deadline on Friday afternoon.
Kennedy, in his second season with Estevan, was named the Bruins’ captain at the start of the year. The Regina, SK native has played 30 games this season, picking up 12 points (5g-7a).
“Cade will add a lot of value to our forward group. First off, he’s basically a four-year veteran, he’s a captain who brings solid leadership, and we feel a guy that can do a lot of different things. He’s a centreman that can slide up and down your lineup, play powerplay, and penalty kill, and you need that type of versatility in your players as you head to the playoff push,” said Head Coach and GM, Brayden Klimosko.
Prior to joining the Bruins, Kennedy spent parts of three seasons with the Yorkton Terriers to start his SJHL career where he amassed 80 games played. In total, Kennedy comes to the Broncos having accumulated 51 points (27g-24a) in 131 games of SJHL experience, adding another 11 games of playoff experience.
He was drafted 44th overall by the Weyburn Red Wings in the 2019 SJHL U15 Draft

The Humboldt Broncos, Melville Millionaires and the AJHL’s Drumheller Dragons have completed a three-way trade that sees multiple players interchanging teams on trade deadline day.
In the deal, the Broncos will acquire 2004-born defenseman Liam Rodman from the Melville Millionaires, while sending 2004-born defenseman Tristan Serrao to the AJHL’s Drumheller Dragons
Rodman has over 130 games of Jr. A experience having played in the BCHL and AJHL, while accumulating 9 points (5g-4a) in 26 games with the Millionaires this season. The right-shot, Saskatoon native was drafted 16th overall by the Notre Dame Hounds in the 2019 SJHL U15 draft, and 242 overall by the WHL’s Prince Albert Raiders.
“It’s a tough situation to have to deal Tristan. He’s been a leader in our dressing room and a guy who’s put his body on the line every time he steps on the ice. On the positive side, Liam is a 20-year-old defenseman with a ton of experience, those players are tough to find at the deadline, so we’re excited to get a really solid player in return. He can play a physical game as well as chip in offensively,” said Head Coach and GM, Brayden Klimosko.
Tristan Serrao spent all but five games of his junior career with the Broncos. He started his tenure in 2022-23 season and would go on to play 82 games, picking up 17 points (4g-13a) and 314 penalty minutes. Serrao, from Calgary, AB, will get to finish his final season of Junior hockey closer to home.
The Melville Millionaires will acquire two players from Drumheller to round out the trade.
