Grizzlys Ryder Riedel earns second straight AJHL Rookie of the Week honours

Ryder Riedel has had quite the couple weeks with the AJHL’s Olds Grizzlys.

The 18-year-old rookie has had such an outstanding run, he just earned his second straight AJHL Rookie of the Week nod.

The Didsbury native, who played in Coquitlam (BCHL & JPHL) last season, has recorded points in all six games he’s played, including five points (2G, 3A) in two games last week.

Riedel earned player of the game honours after posting two assists and scoring the overtime game winner in a 5-4 win versus the visiting Drumheller Dragons on Nov. 14.
