Two out of three ain’t bad

This past week was much better than the one previous for the Rebels as the club earned four of a possible six points.

Oct 16 – Hunter Mayo scored his second goal of the game in overtime to give the Rebels a thrilling 5-4 win over the Calgary Hitmen at the Scotiabank Saddledome. Mayo also scored on a second period power play. Cohen Poulin, Jaxon Fuder (1st WHL goal) and Trae Wilke also scored for the Rebels. Chase Wutzke made 33 saves. Each team had 37 shots on goal. Calgary was 3-for-7 on the power play while Red Deer was 1-for-2.

Oct 19 – The Rebels scored twice in the first period then locked things down to earn a 2-1 win over the league leading Saskatoon Blades at the Peavey Mart Centrium. Hunter Mayo and Jhett Larson (game winner) scored for Red Deer while Chase Wutzke turned in a superb 30-save performance. Red Deer outshot Saskatoon 35-31 and was 0-for-1 on the power play while the Blades were 0-for-3.

Oct 20 – The Kids Day Matinee did not go the Rebels’ way as they fell 5-1 to the Edmonton Oil Kings at the Peavey Mart Centrium. Luke Vlooswyk scored Red Deer’s lone goal – his first of the season – early in the third period.
