Last Action:
One of the most dominating weeks in years finished up with a 7-3 win over the Red Deer Rebels. Matt Delahey had one of his best career offensive performances with a pair of goals and an assist. Also scoring was: Kyle Mulder, Jordan Weal, Michal Poletin, Graham Hood and Brett Leffler. Dawson Guhle snagged his second straight win.
The Pats won their second in a row Friday night with a convincing 6-1 victory over the Swift Current Broncos. Jordan Eberle picked up 2 goals, while his line mates Brett Leffler and Jordan Weal also had multiple point night. Kyle Mulder, Killian Hutt and Matt Strueby also scored for the Pats while Dawson Guhle stopped 22 shots for his second win of the season.
The return of Jordan Eberle is defiantly the cure to the Pats offensive woes. He came in and was put on a line with Jordan Weal and Brett Leffler and it was instant magic. The trio combined for 6 goals and 11 points in a 9-3 bombing of the Prince Albert Raiders. Jordan Weal picked up the hat trick, Brett Leffler had a goal and 3 assist, while Jordan Eberle had 2 goals and 2 assists. Also scoring for the blue and white was Matt Strueby, Killian Hutt and Brayden Metz. Damien Ketlo was a quiet story on the night, stopping 30 of 33 shots, including a pair of breakaways in the first period.

Top line is....tops:
Forward Jordan Eberle returned to the Pats line-up last week after a strong Edmonton Oiler training camp and he combined with Jordan Weal and Brett Leffler for a fantastic week. The trio scored 11 timed and picked up 25 points in the three Pat wins.

Eberle topping the charts:
Jordan Eberle is currently the Pats active leader in goals with 107 for his Pat career. This puts him in a tie with Rhett Gordon (Pats 92-96) on the modern Pats all-time goal list (1966-present) just one goal back of Len Nielsen (82-87) and 2 back of Gary Dickie (85-89) and Rob Tudor (72-76). Eberle’s 212 points puts him past Jeff Shantz (89-93) and is now 2 points back of Darren Veitch (76-80) on the all time points list.

Another Weal of a Week:
For his 4 goals and 5 assists, Regina Pats forward Jordan Weal, was named the Boston Pizza WHL player of the week. This was the second time that Weal has been named a player of the week in his career. He was the P.O.W. for the first week of the 2008-09 season.

Davidson flying under the radar:
18 year old rookie defenceman, Brandon Davidson, is continuing his stellar rookie campaign. He is 5th in team scoring, while also in the top ten in defensive and rookie scoring.

Guhle filling the void:
With Damien Ketlo nursing a tender groin, rookie goaltender Dawson Guhle has filled in admirably with back-to-back wins this week. He now has 3 of the 4 Pat wins this season.

Leffs is best:
In his 5th season as a member of the Regina Pats, 20 year old forward, Brett Leffler, has been one of the top players in the WHL. He is 2nd in the league in scoring, 2nd in plus/minus and 2nd in assists.

Little man, big stick:
The Pats acquired Killian Hutt earlier last week from the Portland Winterhawks, and the fireplug sized forward made and instant impact with a pair of goals and an assists in his first 3 games as a member of the blue and white.

The week of his career:
18 year old forward, Kyle Mulder, had a total of 2 goals and no assists in all of last season. In the 3 games this week, he doubled that total with 2 goals and 2 assists.
