Newest addition to Cats' roster has three goals and five points in three games since being traded from the Regina Pats
When he went down the WHL trade route looking to fill the Cougars’ last remaining roster spot for an overager, seeking to acquire a quality player without having to mortgage too much of the future, he couldn’t have done much better than to bring Cole Dubinsky into the fold.
“Man, he’s been good,” said Lamb. “He plays with a lot of emotion and a lot of heart and he’s got skill. He’s going to be a very good player for us. He plays with an edge and our hockey team needs that type of leadership and for him it’s all about winning. Dubinsky, who turns 20 on Dec. 4, was an assistant captain with the Pats when the deal went down. He grew up in Ardrossan, Alta. , the same hometown as Cougar winger Blake Eastman, and his introduction to Cougar fans in their two-game set with the Giants brought 9,284 fans to the rink.
After losing to the Giants 5-4 on Saturday, three days after an 8-6 loss in Kelowna, the Cougars had a team meeting to address their defensive shortcomings and they showed in Sunday’s game they were much more committed to playing well without the puck and Dubinsky led by example. Chase Wheatcroft came over from Winnipeg ICE in a June trade for a fourth-round pick in 2023 and he’s been consistently productive. Wheatcroft started Sunday’s game ranked eighth in the WHL scoring race and has since dropped to 13th with 14 goals and 10 assists for 24 points in 19 games. He ranks third in team scoring behind Koehn Ziemmer and Riley Heidt .
