“The boys are buzzing and the chirps are tighter than a freshly taped twig when the hit Crave Original comedy series SHORESY returns for its fifth season, Christmas Day.” – Bell Media Press Release
For audiences outside Canada and the United States, availability varies by region. Viewers should check their local streaming platforms to see if Shoresy is offered.
What to Expect in Season 5
Season 5 brings a significant shift for the foul-mouthed fan favorite. After accepting a new role at the end of Season 4, Jared Keeso’s Shoresy is now officially the coach of the Sudbury Bulldogs. This changes his dynamic with the team and with Sanguinet, who was previously the team’s only coach.
The official season description states that Shoresy and the Bulldogs will “fight to protect the North American game”. Trailers have shown Shoresy talking about the differences between the speed-focused European style of hockey and the grittier North American game he loves, suggesting this cultural clash may be a central theme.
Main Cast and Characters
The core team returns for another season on the ice. Leading the cast is creator Jared Keeso, who stars as the titular Shoresy.
He is joined by:
- Tasya Teles as Nat, the team’s general manager.
- Blair Lamora and Keilani Elizabeth Rose as the dynamic duo Ziigwan and Miigwan, Nat’s assistants.
- Ryan McDonell as Michaels, the team’s goaltender.
The beloved veteran players also return, including:
- Jonathan-Ismaël Diaby as Dolo, the Quebecois player and rapper.
- Terry Ryan as Ted “Hitch” Hitchcock, the former NHL draft pick.
- Andrew Antsanen as Brant “Goody” Goodleaf.
- The legendary enforcers Jim, Jim, and Jim, played by Jon Mirasty, Brandon Nolan, and Jordan Nolan.

A Look at the Series
Shoresy is a spin-off of the popular Canadian comedy Letterkenny. The series follows the character Shoresy, a famously dirty player who is only seen from behind in Letterkenny, as he joins the struggling senior AAA hockey team, the Sudbury Bulldogs. He makes a bold promise to the team’s owner that they will never lose again if he is given control.
Filmed in Sudbury, Ontario, the show is known for its rapid-fire insults (chirps), authentic hockey atmosphere, and heartfelt moments about teamwork. Since premiering in 2022, it has built a dedicated fanbase that enjoys its unique mix of sports and comedy.
The series typically consists of six episodes per season, with each episode running between 25 to 30 minutes.
