MONTREAL – Life has certainly thrown Zach Redmond a couple of curveballs along the way – both of which caught him off guard, but didn’t slow him down.
At the age of 15, Redmond suffered a stroke while attending a prospects tournament in Toronto that left the right side of his body temporarily numb. He would relearn how to talk and walk again before going on to play two seasons with the USHL’s Sioux City Stampede ahead of a four-year stint with Ferris State University, located 90 miles south of his home in Traverse City, MI.
