GAME DAY: REBS @ PG

GAME DAY #47 – Rebels @ Cougars
Season Series: Rebels 1-0-0-0
7pm – CN Centre – Prince George, BC

A very important and season-deciding road trip begins tonight in Prince George as the Red Deer Rebels embark on an 8-game road trip through BC and then into Saskatchewan as the Scotties Tournament of Hearts takes over the Enmax Centrium.

Sitting four points back of eighth place Brandon and nine back of seventh place Regina, the Red Deer Rebels are about as close to ‘do-or-die’ as they’ve ever been this season. A poor road trip could result in the playoffs waving ‘bye bye’ sooner than later.

The push to the playoffs begins against a team that said ‘sayonara’ to the post-season long ago. Read the rest of this entry »

REBS STILL FOUR BACK; HAMILTON DONE FOR SEASON?

After a brilliant effort in Cranbrook, the Red Deer Rebels got into a track meet on Saturday against the Moose Jaw Warriors and it cost them more than just two points.

A scary moment took place as Joel Hamilton didn’t make it out of the rink on his own feet after what most describe as an ‘awkward hit’. Turns out it was more awkward than most could have imagined and it may have cost Hamilton his season.

He tweeted Sunday afternoon: “2 fractured vertebrae and torn muscle.” Read the rest of this entry »

A Non-Game Day, Game Day Blog

The Red Deer Rebels can’t seem to catch any breaks these days, and whether that’s just part in parcel to the type of season they’ve had, it certainly makes every game a do or die situation as the WHL Playoffs loom just around the corner.

It’s been well documented just how banged up the Rebels have been this season and the up and down season that has coincided alongside with it. Credit to the team for as good as they’ve been able to play without the personnel they’ve employed in their lineup, but you have to think that this season is an anomaly unto itself.

The Finning/KidSport Jersey

A Night For KidSport™, Presented By Finning Canada

RED DEER, AB – Merrick Sutter, Senior Vice President of the Red Deer Rebels Hockey Club, announced today that the Rebels will wear a special jersey Saturday, February 4th when they host the Calgary Hitmen.  The jerseys will be part of a silent auction during the game with the proceeds to benefit KidSport™ in Central Alberta.  Finning Canada will be the presenting sponsor of the event.

The silent auction will begin when the doors open that evening at 6:30PM.  It will conclude, at the latest, by the end of the first period intermission.  There will be a limit of one jersey per fan, and each jersey will have a ‘buy now’ price. After the game, each player will sign their jersey before presenting it to the person that made the successful bid.

Merrick Sutter, Senior Vice President Red Deer Rebels Hockey Club – “The Rebels are very pleased to be partnering with KidSport™ and Finning Canada to raise money for a worthy cause.  This desirable, one time only jersey, will be a hit with our fans. We expect to have a successful evening benefitting youth sports in Central Alberta.”

A ‘GIANT’ WIN FOR THE REBELS

One down, two to go. A HUGE victory for the Red Deer Rebels last night as they doubled up on the Vancouver Giants 4-2 at the Enmax Centrium. For the Rebels, not only does it move them to within four points of the Brandon Wheat Kings (who lost to Calgary) and closer to that final playoff spot, it continues to build upon the momentum from last weekend, which will be key for the pair of upcoming games.

The Tri City Americans, and those same Kings of Wheat. Read the rest of this entry »
