Whitley Warriors welcome back versatile defenceman Kyle Ross for the 2022-23 campaign.
25-year-old Ross began his junior ice hockey career with Newcastle Vipers before switching to Whitley Tomahawks in 2010. In his third season with the Under 16s outfit, he progressed to fulfil the role of alternate captain, achieving 22 points in 17 league games, in addition to icing for the Braves. In his 2013-14 campaign, Ross made his senior debut with the Warriors as a forward, making a total of 21 appearances in which he recorded his first goal and assist for the side.
After another two seasons with the Warriors, Ross made the decision to leave Whitley for CPJHL outfit Norwood Nemesis in Canada, racking up 11 goals and 22 assists in 39 league games before returning to Hillheads in the season that followed. Ross goes into his eighth season at the club with last season’s tally of 8 goals and 11 assists standing him in good stead to play in both attacking and defensive roles for the Warriors. Ross’ versatility has proved important, making him another welcome returnee to Whitley’s roster.
Welcome back, Kyle!
