Rebels acquire Dmytriw from Victoria for Freadrich

Sep 6, 2017 | 2:17 PM

The Red Deer Rebels had depth at defence, the Victoria Royals had depth up front.

So the two teams decided “Let’s make a deal.”

The Rebels sent 19-year-old defenceman Jared Freadrich to the Royals on Wednesday in exchange for 19-year-old forward Jared Dmytriw.

Dmytriw is entering his fourth year in the WHL, he has played 179 WHL regular season games, scoring 29 goals and 21 assists for 50 career points. He has also played in 26 WHL playoff games, scoring 3 goals and 5 assists for 8 points.
