Saturday at Co-op Place in Medicine Hat, the Rebels held off the Tigers for a 4-3 victory. This time it was Cohen Poulin scoring his first WHL goal for the Rebels. Ollie Josephson, Jace Weir, and Talon Brigley (game winner) also found the back of the net while Rhett Stoesser was sensational in making 37 saves for the win.
This Week
The Rebels and Tabbies tangle one more time this Friday, October 4 at the Peavey Mart Centrium at 7 p.m. The following night (Sat. 5 th) the Rebels host the Calgary Hitmen for another 7 p.m. tilt. It's the first of eight meetings between Red Deer and Calgary this season and the first Beer Night of the season (two domestic cans for $12) at the Peavey Mart Centrium.
Nine Lives
Talk about 'scoring by committee'... all nine Rebels goals this season have been scored by nine different players! Fifteen different players have recorded at least one point for the Rebels through the first three games of the season.
Oh Captain, My Captain
Ollie Josephson is 28th captain in Rebels team history. Serving as Alternate Captains for the Rebels this year are 20-year-old defenceman Hunter Mayo, 20-year-old forward Jhett Larson, and 19-year-old forward Kalan Lind.
Back in the fold
The Rebels saw all four of their remaining players return last week from NHL camps - Chase Wutzke (G, Minnesota), Ollie Josephson (F, Seattle), Kalan Lind (F, Nashville) and Kasper Pikkarainen (F, New Jersey).
New Blueliner
The Rebels have acquired the rights to defenceman Jack Bousquet from the Spokane Chiefs in exchange for a conditional seventh-round selection at the WHL Prospects Draft in either 2025 or 2026. Bousquet, who was born in Dallas, Texas, was selected by Spokane in round 10, 203rd overall at the 2022 WHL Prospects Draft. He played last season with Calgary IHA U18 Prep (CSSHL), earning nine points in 24 games, and began this season with the Canmore Eagles (AJHL).
