Olds Grizzlys Ryder Riedel has been named the Alberta Junior Hockey League’s (AJHL) Rookie of the Week for his outstanding performance through two games last week.

The Didsbury product notched two assists on Dec. 12 in a 7-3 loss to the Xtreme, followed by his 13th assist of the season in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Whitecourt Wolverines the next night.

Riedel is third in team scoring with five goals and 13 assists for 18 points in 15 games. This is the third time Riedel has been named the AJHL Rookie of the Week.
