Rebels raring to go with training camp underway

Though Flynn wasn’t with the team last year, he says with the number of returning guys, learning from last season’s late run into the playoffs will help the team do better and be more consistent throughout the season.

“It was a long summer and for the most part of the season we were a below .500 hockey team,” says Herauf who put up two goals and 16 assists in his second season with Red Deer in 2017/18. “We put some wins together and got into the playoffs, but then once we got in, we just weren’t performing the way we should be and that was the story of the whole season.”

The Sherwood Park native adds that should be different in the upcoming WHL campaign.

“I think we can make a run for it this year, but with Brent [Sutter], it’s always about working hard and competing every day and having fun,” he says. “This year we’re putting more emphasis on offense and scoring goals and creating offense, whether it’s from our blueline or forwards. I think the message is the same, work hard and get rewarded and have some fun while we’re doing it.”

Training camp runs through next Wednesday at the Enmax Centrium. The black and white exhibition game is Wednesday night at 7 p.m.
