HALIFAX, NS (October 2, 2026) -- The Halifax Thunderbirds announced today that the team has signed defender Sam La Roue to a one-year contract and goaltender Tyden Redlick to a two-year contract.

La Roue, 24, has spent five years in the National Lacrosse League. He signed with the Thunderbirds last season and spent time on the team's practice roster.

The Surrey, British Columbia native played one game for the Thunderbirds last season, helping the team to a quarterfinal victory in Vancouver. 

In 15 career games played, La Roue has registered five assists, 22 loose balls, and two caused turnovers. 

Redlick, 21, has spent a pair of seasons in the National Lacrosse League, each with the San Diego Seals. The team selected him in the sixth round (84th overall) of the 2024 NLL Draft. 

The St. Albert, Alberta product spent his rookie season on the practice roster before making one appearance this year for the Seals. He also played in a pair of pre-season games for San Diego. 

Redlick just finished his junior lacrosse career this past summer, splitting time with the Burlington Blaze and Six Nations Arrows. He was also called up to serve as the third goalie for the Six Nations Chiefs, who won the 2026 Mann Cup in September.
