Rebels Grubbe, Masters crack final rankings for NHL Draft

May 27, 2021 | 11:25 AM

Two members of the Red Deer Rebels have made NHL Central Scouting’s final rankings for the 2021 NHL Draft.

Centre Jayden Grubbe is ranked 63^rd among North American Skaters while defenceman Kyle Masters is 93^rd.

Grubbe was named Rebels named team captain on March 5 and had a goal and two assists in five games before suffering a season-ending knee injury March 12 versus Lethbridge. The 18-year-old Calgary native is expected to make a full recovery in time for the start of the 2021-2022 season.

Masters, 18, from Edmonton, collected 10 assists in 20 games played this season and logged a ton of ice time anchoring an injury-ravaged Rebels defence corps.

Both Grubbe and Masters were selected by the Rebels in the first round of the 2018 WHL Draft.
