Ty Coupland (power play) and Keith McInnis each scored once. Samuel Drancak’s eight-game goal-scoring streak came to an end, but he did have an assist to keep his point streak going. Beckett Hamilton had a power play assist to run his point streak to eight games. Peyton Shore made 27 saves.

December 1 – In a Sunday Matinee in Calgary, the Rebels set the tone early as they charged out to a 3-0 first period lead en route to a 4-3 win over the Hitmen. Beckett Hamilton and Landon MacSwain each had a goal and an assist. Aleksey Chichkin scored his first goal of the season, while Matthew Gard also scored once. Matthew Kondro made 17 saves for his fourth win of the season.
