Carson Rehkopf Continues Domination
There’s something about Rehkopf and the WFCU Centre. The 19-year-old Kitchener Rangers’ veteran seems to thrive under the bright lights. In his OHL career, he’s had four goals and three assists in six games with Windsor and seems to be in every scoring opportunity. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound Vaughan native had that same story this week during Summer Showcase.
In the Red-White game, Rehkoph stopped a late three-goal outburst from Team White, scoring the game-winning goal with 27 seconds left as Team Red took a 4-3 win. Nobody was overly surprised, and he kept that momentum going into Wednesday’s game against the Swedes.
Canada had a tough time getting past Swedish goaltender Melker Thelin, who stopped 44 of 46 shots. However, Rehkopf did his thing, adding another goal in the second period and then the game-tying goal with 1:47 left in the third. He got a rare roar from the crowd, who’s used to groaning when he lights the lamp. Unfortunately, the crowd groaned a little bit at the end as the Swedes took a 3-2 win in a shootout. The Canadians dominated the Swedes on the shot clock, 46-21, but Thelin stood tall until Rehkopf’s tying goal.
Whether you’re a Spitfires fan, a Rangers fan, or just a hockey fan, you have to respect what Rehkopf brings to the table. The Kraken prospect has size, intelligence, and a clear nose for the net. With three goals in two games, he’s showing he could be a force for Canada when the real games begin on December 26.
