Braden Birnie, Weyburn Red Wings

The adjustment to Junior “A” hockey was pretty smooth and quick for 18-year-old Braden Birnie as the homegrown Weyburn Red Wing product had eight points in his first seven games, but the 6-foot-1, 170-pound winger has found out it won’t always be that easy as he has been held off the scoresheet in five straight […]
