Rebels Tie Win Record For Winter Seasons

The Rebels beat the Drillers 6-4 in a game where the reffing was the exact opposite of the previous game. With just 2 minutes worth of penalties called the entire game it made this match up a lot less frustrating. Kevin netted a hat trick and added an assist for a 4 point night. Mike posted 2 goals and 3 assists for 5 points and Dustin added a goal and 3 assists for 4 points total. The Rebels now have 5 wins on the season which ties their best Winter Season record set in 2007/2008 where they went 5-17-2. The team is well on their way to beating that record and securing a playoff spot for the first time since the 2005/2006 Winter Season.

Rebels Winning Streak Comes To An End

It's become inevitable that at least once per season the Rebels are involved in a game where the reffing is a complete travesty and this was one of those games. There was a total of 86 penalty minutes assessed between both teams most of which were questionable from both sides. At one point the three refs were so confused at how the penalties were to be served that they managed to run 8 minutes off the clock in the second half. This coupled with the fact the the Rebels had a very short bench lead to High Octane getting their first win of the season by a score of 5-4. On the positive side however, Paul got two great one-timer goals and almost had the hat trick in the dying seconds but the cross bar got in the way. Dustin had the other two goal for the Rebels and also added an assist for a 3 point night.

Rebels Silence Thunder

The Rebels managed to hold on to their early lead to give them their 4th win of the season. The Rebels came out of the gate hard scoring 5 straight goals against the Thunder in the first 21 minutes of the game. The Thunder did answer back late in the period but it looked as though the game was shaping up to be a blow out. The second half was all Thunder though as the Rebels lost all their energy and offense allowing the Thunder to dominate, scoring another 3 goals and coming to within 1 of tying the game. Nestor played solid though and handled the barrage to help the Rebels hang on for the win. Kyle came out as a last minute replacement to help fill up a short bench and he stepped up scoring a hat trick and adding an assist. Mike had the other 2 goals and posted 3 assists for a 5 point night.

Rebels Beat The Football Team

The Rebels pretty much dominated the game, beating the Stallions 3-1. As was the case in their last meeting the Stallions played more like a football team than a hockey team with all the hits they were throwing. As a result their team became very frustrated but the Rebels kept their cool which helped get the win. Cody had two goals, both assisted by Kevin, and Mike added the last goal for the Rebels. The Stallions broke Mark's shut out bid with just 45 seconds remaining in the game. The Rebels are now 3-2 on the season which actually marks the first time the team has been above .500 in the 5 winter season they have played!
