The Red Deer Optimist Chiefs employed a balanced attack and held the Southeast Tigers to 11 shots while posting a 6-0 Alberta Midget Hockey League win Sunday at Medicine Hat.
The Chiefs got a single goal from six different players — Travis Verveda, Ross Heidt, Andrew Nielsen, Tyler Steenbergen, Layne Bensmiller and Gabe Bast. Trey deGraaf chipped in with three assists, while Cole Sears recorded the shutout for the 13-4-4 Chiefs.
On Saturday, the Chiefs dumped the visiting Lethbridge Hurricanes 8-3 as Steenbergen and Bensmiller each tallied twice and Bast, deGraaf, Chase Olsen and JJ Brown also scored.
Jayden Sittler made 21 saves in the Red Deer net, while his teammates fired 49 shots at Lethbridge goalie Robert Brewin.
The Optimist Chiefs have three games prior to the Christmas break — Wednesday at Sherwood Park, Saturday at the Calgary Northstars and Sunday at the Arena versus the visiting Edmonton Southside Athletics at 3 p.m.
