Grubbe, who scored twice and added two assists, was in complete agreement with Bains. “Finding that chemistry was pretty easy with these linemates.” Everyone has just got better each day through camp,” said Bains, who scored twice and picked up four helpers. “It thought it was a good, fast-paced game. Meanwhile, the Team Black unit of Arshdeep Bains, Liam Keeler and centre Jayden Grubbe combined for 13 points in a winning cause. My family came to the game today so it was good to play in front of them too.” “It can be a great atmosphere here in Red Deer and it’s going to get better as we move along. “Having fans in the building always helps,” said Uchacz. The game wasn’t as well attended as some in the past, but still attracted several hundred spectators. “Camp went well, starting with the fitness testing and then right into practice and games,” he said.

Removed from the Seattle Thunderbirds roster in March due to a racist incident, Uchacz was required to undergo further training and education on anti-racism and successfully completed the WHL diversity coaching program in June.

Everyone deserves a second chance and Kai Uchacz is making the most of his.
