How Old Is Shoresy In Letterkenny's Spinoff? (2024)

By the time Shoresy premiered in 2022, viewers of Letterkenny were familiar with the cast of Shoresy and the actors, including the main character, Shoresy (Jared Keeso), yet Shoresy's age in the spinoff is never entirely clear. In Letterkenny, Shoresy isn't the main character, even though he has the same crude and blunt personality as he does in Shoresy. There is an air of mystery around him, with little discussion about what Shoresy's first name is, or how old he is.

There are some contextual clues about Shoresy's age in the show. For instance, theaudience knows he is new to the Sudbury Bulldogs, but that he has been playing since he was on the Letterkenny Shamrocks team in Letterkenny. From this, it is fair to say Shoresy has been playing professionally for a long time. However, when it comes to answering exactly how old Shoresy is in Letterkenny's spinoff, the issue is a little more complex.

Jared Keeso's Shoresy Is Likely In His Early 30s

Shoresy's Age Is A Mystery, But There Are Some Clues.

Looking at Letterkenny, which ran from 2016 to 2023, it is obvious that Shoresy's hockey career was extensive and that he was a popular player. However, in the early seasons of Letterkenny, Shoresy is still playing in the juniors around age 20, and hockey players usually age out of the juniors in Canada at this age, where Letterkenny and Shoresy are set. However, given how long Letterkenny ran for and how much time in both shows isn't consistent, it is likely that Shoresy is older than his teammates and older than someone in their twenties.

A more accurate age for Shoresy would be close to actor Jared Keeso's age, which is 40. Canonically, this makes sense with Letterkenny and its 7-year run, although this timeline doesn't necessarily apply to Shoresy's teammates on the Sudbury Bulldogs. Shoresy features many real-life hockey players, keeping the universe feeling true to life, although the ages of Shoresy's teammates appear to be different from his.

How Shoresy's Age Compares To The Other Hockey Players On The Sudbury Bulldogs

Shoresy May Be In His Mid-30s, But His Teammates Don't All Seem To Be!

As a show, Shoresy makes many references to older and famous hockey players. Season 1, episode 2, "Veteran Presence," references veterans in its title, suggesting that the players they meet at a mixer at Nat's are more experienced and presumably older than them. Casting calls for Shoresy can reveal some information about the players' ages on Shoresy's team. Before the show was in production, the casting company, Northern Casting, made several casting calls for "male ice hockey players" aged from 18 to 38, hinting that at the very least, nobody on and outside the teams, the Sudbury Bulldogs, is that much older than Shoresy.

In Shoresy season 1, Shoresy, older and more experienced than his Sudbury Bulldogs teammates, frequently references their need for new young talent and greater maturity to save their reputation, and Shoresy later emphasizes that the team must grow up to succeed. Despite his age, Shoresy's wisdom and experience set him apart. In playing in a Triple-A senior team without age restrictions, his teammates can be any age over 18, reflecting that age is not a central theme in the show's universe.
