News release from the Nashville Predators

Nashville Predators General Manager Barry Trotz announced today that the team has signed forward Kalan Lind to a three-year, entry-level contract.

Lind, 18 (1/25/05), was selected by the Predators in the second round (46th overall) of the 2023 NHL Draft, held last week in Nashville at Bridgestone Arena. A 6-foot, 158-pound left wing out of Red Deer, Lind established WHL career highs in assists (28) and points (44) while adding in 16 goals, helping the Rebels reach the second round of the playoffs. In 2021-22, his rookie WHL campaign, he scored 20 goals and posted 38 points, finishing fourth and fifth, respectively, on his team in both categories. Lind owns 88 points (40g-48a) – including 17 power-play goals – in 119 career WHL contests, all coming with Red Deer.

Internationally, the Swift Current, Sask., native joined fellow Predators prospects Matthew Wood, Tanner Molendyk and Dylan MacKinnon in winning gold for Canada at the 2022 Hlinka Gretzky Cup.

REBELS THIS WEEK

The Red Deer Rebels are officially underway with their 33rd season in the Western Hockey League!

Opening Night

The effort Saturday night was one the Red Deer Rebels hope to copy throughout their 2024-25 Western Hockey League season. The end result not so much as the Red Deer Advocate Home Opener at the Peavey Mart Centrium saw the Rebels fall 2-1 in overtime to the visiting Lethbridge Hurricanes. Matteo Fabrizi scored Red Deer’s opening goal of the season. The Rebels outshot Lethbridge 31-14 on the night.

Tiger Tales

Next up for the Rebels is three-straight games versus the Medicine Hat Tigers, the top-ranked team in the Canadian Hockey League. The Rebels host the Tigers on Friday, Sept. 27 at the Peavey Mart Centrium before visiting Medicine Hat the following night, Saturday, Sept. 28, for a 7 p.m. tilt at Co-op Place.
