The Olds Grizzlys put an end to their four-game losing streak with a 6-2 win over the Mustangs in Calgary on Tuesday night.

The Grizzlys out shot the Mustangs 37-33 and had a 1-0 lead after the first period. However, three goals in the second period for Olds essentially put the game away for them. They led 4-0 after forty minutes while both teams scored twice in the third period to make it a 6-2 final.

The Grizzly’s goals came from Owen Guenter, Brad Girard, Jared Power, James Gaume and two from Chase Olsen.

The win improves the Grizzlys record to 12-20-5 with 29 points and seventh place in the Viterra South Division. The Mustangs drop to 6-29-2 with 14 points and eighth place or last in the South Division.

Olds next game is Friday, January 6th when they host the Brooks Bandits for a 7:00 pm face-off at the Olds Sportsplex.

The Bandits are 28-3-4 with 60 points and first place in the South Division. They’re currently on a six-game winning streak and considered the top team in the AJHL.

Limited access to G.H. Dawe Community Centre this summer due to construction

Due to construction, access to the G.H. Dawe Community Centre will be limited this summer, with a full closure planned for August.

As announced yesterday, City recreation centres are opening fully to the public as of July 1. With construction underway at the G.H. Dawe Community Centre, only limited services and areas will be available.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • Starting July 2, fitness and gym areas will open from 10 a.m. – 8 p.m., daily. In July, summer day camps that normally operate from the Dawe will operate from other facilities.
  • The pool will remain closed until September.
  • To accommodate interior heating and ventilation construction, the facility will fully close from July 26 to August 31. Some registered preschool and summer camp programming may proceed, but no rental or general admission options will be available.
  • On September 1, we anticipate the pool will be open, but some other amenities, like the gym, may not be available. More information will be provided as construction progresses.
  • Playing surfaces in the arena will not be available until construction is complete, which is expected to be early 2023.

We are currently offering a discounted monthly Value Pass for $27 for adults ($24.50 for seniors; $21.90 for students; $19.30 for youth; $14.20 for children, and $60.50 for a family. It provides unlimited access to all facilities. As of August the Value Pass will only provide access to the Recreation Centre and Michener Aquatic Centre; however, access to the Dawe will be included in the Value pass until the pool, gym and fitness areas are open.

About the G.H. Dawe Community Centre Project

Work is underway now on the G.H. Dawe Community Centre Project and some exciting changes are in store. We expect to welcome visitors to the transformed space in early 2023. Here’s just some of what you can expect:

  • Two NHL standard playing surfaces
  • Expanded fitness areas, including a running track
  • Outdoor spray park with washroom facilities
  • Improved accessibility
  • Additional north entrance + site access from 67 Street
  • Additional parking

During construction, there will be some changes and impacts to existing amenities and programs, and we’ll do you best to share this information in advance. Thanks for your patience as we complete this work.
