On Thursday, the Western Hockey League
sent out a release stating 20% of all NHL players who have
through the first month of the season are WHL graduates (156 of
778 players).
Here's a list of those players who have suited up for the Red Deer Rebels...
CALGARY FLAMES
Blair Jones, Central Butte, SK (Red Deer Rebels, Moose Jaw Warriors)
CAROLINA HURRICANES
Cam Ward, Saskatoon, SK (Red Deer Rebels)
EDMONTON OILERS
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Burnaby, B.C. (Red Deer Rebels)
FLORIDA PANTHERS
Kris Versteeg, Lethbridge, AB (Lethbridge Hurricanes, Kamloops Blazers, Red Deer Rebels)
LOS ANGELES KINGS
Colin Fraser, Sicamous, B.C. (Red Deer Rebels)
MINNESOTA WILD
Darcy Kuemper, Saskatoon, SK (Red Deer Rebels, Spokane Chiefs)
MONTREAL CANADIENS
Colby Armstrong, Lloydminster, SK (Red Deer Rebels)
NASHVILLE PREDATORS
Martin Erat, Krnov, CZE (Saskatoon Blades, Red Deer Rebels)
NEW YORK RANGERS
Aaron Asham, Portage La Prairie, MB (Red Deer Rebels)
PHOENIX COYOTES
Boyd Gordon, Unity, AS (Red Deer Rebels)
Martin Hanzal, Pisek, CZE (Red Deer Rebels)
PITTSBURGH PENGUINS
Brandon Sutter, Huntington, NY (Red Deer Rebels)
TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS
Dion Phaneuf, Edmonton, AB (Red Deer Rebels)
James Reimer, Winnipeg, MB (Red Deer Rebels)
The list could soon grow as Red Deer native, and former Rebel, Matt Fraser has been called up by the Dallas Stars. He has yet to suit up for the Stars this season heading into Friday night's action.

OTHER NOTES...
It's not a huge surprise by any means, but @GregMeachem confirms in today's Red Deer Advocate that Jesse Wallin will not be returning to the Rebels organization. Wallin had been offered Brent Sutter a chance to return in some capacity but no serious discussions ever took place. Meachem says Wallin is close to accepting a new job, but there's no word yet whether it's hockey-related.

With one week to go in the "Hockey - It's in our Blood" campaign... the Lethbridge Hurricanes are still leading the Red Deer Rebels... but not by much.
The two teams are competing this month to see who can raise more donations for Canadian Blood Services.
As of Thursday... Lethbridge has 143 blood donations, Red Deer has 137.
To make a blood donation in support of the Rebels and for a chance to win an autographed jersey, call 1-888-2-DONATE.
P.S. - If I can do it, so can you! It's easy to do and you'll feel good about yourself after you do :)
