Beckett Hamilton has led by example all season. The Red Deer Rebels forward had another successful week with four goals and six points in three games. Hamilton is up to 26 points this year, which ties him with ranks just behind his teammate Poul Andersen for the league lead.

Malinoski has now made 237 saves over his nine games and is tied for the WHL lead in shutouts with two.
