Rebels' Poul Andersen named WHL Player of the Week after 8-point streak
The 19-year-old forward's hot streak has vaulted him to the top of the WHL scoring race heading into a home game against Calgary.
Red Deer Rebels forward Poul Andersen, 19, has been named Western Hockey League Player of the Week after recording eight points in three games during a Saskatchewan road trip that saw the Rebels go 2-1-0-0.
Andersen picked up an assist in a 4-1 loss at Prince Albert, then scored twice in a 4-2 win at Saskatoon, including the game winner. He capped the week with a four-goal, one-assist performance in a 5-2 victory over the Moose Jaw Warriors, becoming the first Rebel to score four goals in a game since Ty Coupland did so in March 2025.
With 14 points and seven goals through seven games, Andersen now leads the WHL in both categories, three points and two goals ahead of teammate and Colorado Avalanche prospect Beckett Hamilton. Andersen joined the Rebels in a December 2025 trade that sent Dallas Stars prospect Jaxon Fuder to another club.
The Rebels return home Friday, October 9, to host the Calgary Hitmen at the Centrium starting at 7 p.m.
