Rebels edge Blades for fourth straight win
Frank Sinatra once sang, “Love is lovelier the second time around.”
We’re not sure if Jeff de Wit is a fan of Ol’ Blue Eyes, but he’s so far making the most of his second tour of duty with his hometown Red Deer Rebels.
The 20-year-old forward scored his fourth and fifth goals of the season Tuesday night to help lead the Rebels to an entertaining 5-4 win over the Saskatoon Blades.
“I felt good from puck drop, felt like my legs were there. Sure helps when (Hagel) is clicking like he is and (Zaytsev) is playing well as a 17-year-old, it’s awesome,” said de Wit.
