He led the Bulldogs in defensemen scoring with 19 points (six goals, 13 assists), playing in 37 games. Redmond, along with fellow freshman Scott Wietecha gave Ferris State one of top up and coming defensive duos in the CCHA this season.

Talent Analysis
Redmond is a mobile offensive defenseman. He is an excellent skater with very fluid strides and really nice edges. His transitioning is very good, and he moves quite well laterally too. Redmond is very poised and patent with the puck and can often be seen jumping up into plays. He’ll also shoot as often as the opportunity presents itself and has little trouble getting pucks to the net. Redmond possesses a very good shot, especially from the blueline. He does a really nice job of distributing the puck intelligently and is also very good in his outlet passes. His outstanding puck-handling and great on-ice vision allows him to quarterback the power play very competently. His defensive zone play is simple yet effective. As Redmond develops more strength, areas such as player containment and playing the body will become more effective and frequent.
Future
Redmond will enter his sophomore year at Ferris State this fall.
