REBELS THIS WEEK

SEASON OPENING SPLIT

The Red Deer Rebels and Edmonton Oil Kings, two longtime provincial rivals, spoiled the parties for each other by winning their opponent’s home opener this past weekend.

The Oil Kings came to the Peavey Mart Centrium on Friday and doubled up the Rebels 4-2 in the Red Deer Advocate Home Opener. Kai Uchacz (power play) and Carson Latimer (in his Rebels debut) scored for Red Deer in the loss. A great crowd of more than 4,600 fans turned out for the contest.

Revenge was served the following night in Edmonton as the Rebels came from behind to defeat the Oil Kings 4-3 at Rogers Place. Jhett Larson (power play), Ollie Josephson, Talon Brigley, and Uchacz (game winner) scored for Red Deer. Chase Wutzke earned the win in net. The Rebels trailed 3-2 entering the third period before scoring twice in the final frame to take the win.

UPCOMING GAMES

Just one game for the Rebels this week as they welcome the Medicine Hat Tigers to the Peavey Mart Centrium on Friday, September 29 for a 7 p.m. tilt. It’ll be the first of six meetings between the two Central Division rivals. Red Deer was 4-1-0-1 versus Medicine Hat last season.

All Rebels regular season and playoff games, home and away, will be heard exclusively on 106.7 REWIND Radio, and viewed exclusively through CHL TV.

LATIMER LOVIN’ IT

Carson Latimer’s first weekend with the Red Deer Rebels was a successful one as the 20-year-old from Surrey, BC collected a goal and three assists in two games versus the Edmonton Oil Kings, the team he started his WHL career with. Latimer also spent time with Prince Albert and Winnipeg before coming to the Rebels in an off-season trade.

WELCOME TO THE DUB

Several Red Deer Rebels made their WHL debuts over the weekend. Forwards Samuel Drancak (Strakonice, Czechia), Levi Green (New Westminister, BC), Jeramiah Roberts (Colorado Springs, USA), and Evan Smith (Kamloops, BC), and defenceman Derek Thurston (Delta, BC) each played their first game Friday in Red Deer, while forward Matthew Gard (Winnipeg, MB) played in his first league contest Saturday in Edmonton.
