A pair of Olds Grizzlys forwards were named to the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) South Division All-Rookie Team for the 2025-26 season.

Jordin St. Louis and Ryder Riedel were two of 12 players selected to both of the AJHL All-Rookie Teams, which were selected by the league’s general managers and coaches.

Each team includes a goalie, two defencemen, and three forwards.

St. Louis was one of two unanimous selections made to the roster, and the other was Bonnyville Pontiacs goaltender Nathan Salisbury.

St. Louis, a 2024 first-round selection of the WHL’s Portland Winterhawks, notched 43 points in 50 games for the Grizzlys this season, including 19 goals and 24 assists.
