Player info: Red Deer Rebels Randy Peterson saw plenty of potential in the Winnipeg native and listed him in July.
“I was pretty excited to hear from the Rebels because I didn’t think I’d be able to play in the WHL (after being dropped by Lethbridge). Red Deer gave me another chance and I think I’ve taken advantage of it,” said Hak, who was on the ‘Canes’ list for two years.
The newcomer impressed the Rebels coaching staff through training camp and the preseason, ultimately earning himself a spot on the club despite his underdog status as an undrafted player.
“He came in and surprised us a bit in training camp. We felt he was ahead of some of the ‘94s we had on our list and basically he just played himself into contention,” said Rebels general manager/head coach Jesse Wallin.
