Rebels This Week: October 14

Oct 14, 2025 | 3:02 PM

Week in Review

After a pair of narrow setbacks to the Lethbridge Hurricanes (3-2 on Oct. 7) and Moose Jaw Warriors (6-4 on Oct. 10) the Rebels rebounded in a big way with a thorough 5-0 win in Lethbridge on Saturday (Oct. 11). Five different players scored for the Rebels (Samuel Drancak, Landon MacSwain 1st WHL goal, Talon Brigley, Arjun Bawa, Noah Milford) while Chase Wutzke made 19 saves for his third career shutout.

The Rebels enter the new week tied for eighth in the WHL Eastern Conference standings.

This Week

It’s an American Invasion this weekend as the Rebels host a pair of home games at the Centrium. Friday sees the club welcome the Portland Winterhawks to town, while the Spokane Chiefs visit on Saturday. It’ll be Portland’s first visit to Red Deer in nearly two years (Oct. 27, 2023), while Spokane was last here for a game on January 10, 2024. Both games start at 7 p.m.

Saturday’s game is also the first Beer Night of the season (two domestic cans for $12) while Cosmos Bottle Depot will be accepting monetary donations for the Red Deer Food Bank. Cosmos representatives will be on hand at the ATB Community Corner booth located in the concourse inside the Marchant Crane Centrium.

Tickets for all Rebels home games can be purchased at ticketsalberta.com. Every Rebels game – home and away – is broadcast exclusively 106.7 REWIND Radio and Victory+.

Climbing the charts

Chase Wutzke is now alone in eighth place on the club’s all-time goalie wins list with 42. Next up is Ethan Anders with 51. Talon Brigley’s 270 regular-season games played with the Rebels ties him with Alexander Petrovic for the eighth most in team history. Next up is Brigley’s former teammate Jace Weir (279). Brigley’s ironman streak of 122 consecutive games played dates back to November 25, 2023.

Ellison joins Rebels scouting staff

Former Rebels forward Matt Ellison has joined the team as its new B.C. scout, taking over for Al Cyr, who is retiring. Ellison played one season with the Rebels in 2002-03 and led the team with 96 points in 72 games. He played 43 NHL games with Chicago and Philadelphia as part of a 17-year pro career.
