Rebels acquire goalie, veteran forward in separate trades Monday
The Red Deer Rebels made a pair of deals on Monday as they begin reshaping their roster ahead of the 2021-22 WHL season.
In their first trade of the day, the Rebels acquired 19-year-old goaltender Connor Ungar from the Brandon Wheat Kings in exchange for 19-year-old defenceman Mason Ward.
Ungar played eight games with the Wheat Kings during the 2020-21 season, compiling a 5-2-1-0 record with a 2.87 goals-against average and .904 save percentage. The Calgary native has 15 WHL regular season appearances under his belt, posting a career record of 6-4-1-0 with a 2.92 goals-against average and .905 save percentage.
In 19 games last season with the AJHL’s Whitecourt Wolverines, Ungar went 9-6-3 with a 2.58 GAA and .921 save percentage.
