From the Red Deer Rebels

REBELS THIS WEEK

WEEKEND RECAP

The Rebels split a pair of home games this past weekend at the Peavey Mart Centrium. After falling 6-2 Friday to the Prince Albert Raiders, with Carson Latimer’s two power play goals being the highlight for Red Deer, the Rebels returned to form Saturday with a sound 3-1 win over the visiting Lethbridge Hurricanes. Ollie Josephson had a goal and an assist while Talon Brigley and Frantisek Formanek also scored for Red Deer. Kyle Kelsey earned the win in net. The Rebels now sit at 2-3-0-0 on the young season.

UPCOMING GAMES

It’s four-straight games away from home for the Rebels starting Friday night in Regina versus the Pats. The Rebels will then play a pair of games at Edmonton on Sunday and next Tuesday (Oct. 17). After visiting Lethbridge next Friday, the Rebels return to home ice on Saturday, October 21 versus the Saskatoon Blades. Catch all Rebels game action, home and away, exclusively on 106.7 REWIND Radio, and CHL TV.

RHETT RETURNS

The Rebels welcomed a familiar face back to the lineup this past weekend with the return of Rhett Stoesser. Last season’s Goaltender of the Year in the Central Division in the WHL Central Division had been out since February with a lower body injury. The Carstairs, AB native made his return to the crease with a relief appearance Friday versus Prince Albert.
