Rebels Lose to the Football Team

The Rebels lost 6-5 against the Stallions in what seemed like more of a football game that a hockey game. The Stallions, wearing their football jerseys as hockey uniforms, must have thought they were playing the wrong game with all the hits they were throwing and picks they were playing. The goals were traded back and forth with it ending 3-3 after the first half. Cody then regained the lead for the Rebels just 38 seconds into the second half by zig zagging through 3 Stallions then undressing the netminder for a highlight reel goal. The Stallions answered back with 3 goals to give them a 2 goal lead late in the second. Kevin scored with just under 2 minutes remaining to give him his hat trick and bring the Rebels to within one. But, with a bad penalty call by the ref causing the Rebels to be on the PK for the last minute we were just not able to get that tying goal. Other highlights included John playing a solid game as goalie for the first time with the Rebels and seeing Curt go toe to toe with a guy that was about a foot taller than him and about twice his size.

Rebels End Losing Streak

The Rebels finally ended their losing streak with a 6-3 victory over the Mafia. By the end of the first half the Rebels were up 3-1 and looking to be in pretty good shape. But, in the first 1:17 of the second half the Mafia scored two goals and evened things up. Rather then getting discouraged and frustrated (which they have become known for doing) the Rebels kept their confidence and continued to play hard and it paid off with them scoring 3 more goals in the last 5 minutes of the game to secure the win. The victory also moved the Rebels from 11th place to 10th by leap frogging the Mafia. The main reasons we won this game were because we didn't get frustrated (we only had 4 minutes of penalties for the whole game compared to 22 last game) and we played with confidence. Now we just need to carry this momentum into the upcoming games!

Losing Streak Now at 7 Games for Rebels

The Rebels lost 9-0 to the Outcast. With 22 minutes worth of penalties handed out to the Rebels there wasn't much chance of getting the win, considering 6 of the 9 goals scored on us were while we were short handed. The Rebels are now third in penalty minutes in the division and have the highest goals against average so it really goes without saying that we need to stay out of the box so that we can actually prevent some goals and score some ourselves to get some wins. Frustration isn't going to win games; confidence will.

Rebels Suffer 6th Straight Loss.

The losing streak continued for the Rebels as they were downed by Entourage by a score of 9-5. Once again the Rebels did well in the first half with the score ending at 2 all. But again, the Rebels fell apart in the second half only netting another 3 goals while Entourage capitalized by scoring 7. It seems that our downfall comes when we stop moving so that's something we need to change in order to start getting some wins.

Grizzlies Claw a Win Away From the Rebels

The Rebels lost to the Grizzlies in a back and forth game. It was 4-3 in favour if the Grizzlies at the end of the first half with Cody netting two of the Rebels goals. Kevin then tied things up 15 seconds into the second half. From there the Grizzlies scored 4 goals while we only managed to net 1. We almost made the come back with Kevin scoring his second goal of the night with 22 seconds left then getting his hat trick with just 5 seconds left. It wasn't enough though as the Rebels went on to lose 8-7. Even though it was a loss we still played on of our better games as a team this season. Again, we just need to be watching out for those mistakes like allowing 3 on 2's in our own end and having passes intercepted because we tried to clear the ball up the middle.
