OFFENSIVE OUTBURST

Rebels this week: Finally back in the win column

Nov 25, 2024 | 1:13 PM

Win one, lose one

The Rebels burst back into the win column Saturday night with the biggest offensive output of the season in a 7-3 win over the Victoria Royals in front of over 5,000 fans at the Peavey Mart Centrium. Jaxon Fuder scored twice. Matthew Gard, Ollie Josephson, and Trae Wilke each had one goal and one assist. Hunter Mayo and Jhett Larson each had two assists. Chase Wutzke made 41 saves.

Unfortunately, the momentum did not carry over to Sunday as the Rebels fell 5-0 to the Edmonton Oil Kings at Rogers Place.

The good news for the Rebels is they remain in a playoff spot in the WHL Eastern Conference as of Monday and have a full week of preparation available to prepare for their next games.
