The Blizz have a new squad member after a trade with Winkler went down last week on Monday.

Kade Stringer is the newest addition to the 2026–27 Northern Manitoba Blizzard roster. In return, Winkler received a PDF and 2008-born forward Cody Farrell.

Stringer brings a ton of Junior A experience to the Blizz. Last season, he was traded three times, making stops with the SJHL’s Estevan Bruins, the MJHL’s Winnipeg Monarchs, and eventually Winkler.

Across those three stops, Stringer played 47 games and recorded 37 points.
