“On behalf of the Mustangs organization we want to thank Christian for his time in Melfort.” Mustangs Head Coach and General Manager Trevor Blevins said. “He possesses a strong work ethic and a great attitude. We wish him all the best in his future.”

Stebbings, also from Saskatoon Saskatchewan, played the last 3 seasons with the Saskatoon Blazers of the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League.
