Rebels Lose Second Game In a Row
For the first time this season the Rebels were handed back to back losses after the Wood Peckers won by a score of 8-2. The Rebels have had more goals scored on them in the past two games (15) than they're previous six added together (12). The consensus with the Rebels is that they feel they're now "out of their league" after being moved up two divisions but the fact remains that the new division is still mostly made up of the top teams from the old division, most of which the Rebels disposed of quite easily. As the end of the regular season approaches the Rebels need to return to their winning ways in order to gain confidence going into the play-offs.

Rebels Gunned Down by Mafia Again
Write up by Cody:
Going into the game with a 6 game winning streak, the Rebels couldn't surpass the Mafia again after a 7-4 beating. All full line up and some hard work along with some frustration by some of us, was just not enough. The Mafia out played us in many ways, sneaking past 7 goals behind the below 2 GAA goalie Nestor. Steve and Kevin topped the night with a goal and assist each, and Matt got his first goal of the winter season. Let's not get our heads down and go into next game and start our streak all over again!

Rebels Grip Past Vice in Shootout 3-2
Write up by Cody:
Going into the game in a fresh new tier 7 the Rebels looked to continue their winning ways. Facing the Karachi Vice getting many chances and opportunities early and throughout the game the Rebels and Nestor get their 6th straight win. Nestor playing yet another phenomenal performance stopped 37 shots, and Kevin having a GREAT game came out with a goal early in the first half and then the shootout winning goal, after returning from leaving the game midway through the second half due to injury. After some questionable reffing, another hard fought game well earned for the Rebels was won, keep up the good work and communication guys.
Kevin also wanted to dedicate his OT shootout goal to Dean's new son (and future Rebel) Reece, who was born the day of the game.

Phantoms Haunted By Rebels
Write up by Cody:
Rebels fight past the Phantoms 6-1 to take the spot in the division in a 4-way tie for first place.
The Rebels had almost all their players out tonight with 3 forward lines, and 7 defensemen. During the first half while the Phantoms had their legs going, the Rebels were kept from the score board until late in the period when Kevin opened the scoring. Going into the second half, everything seemed to open up for the Rebels. Cody scored his first goal in a few games just 57 seconds into the second half, as well as another super highlight goal midway through the second half and the game winning goal. Kyle came out with 2 goals, 2 assists along with a great performance with his entire line. Nestor played another extremely well game with getting his shutout taken away with 13 minutes left in the game. With almost 20 players out, the Rebels showed that even with an overload of players we can all communicate as a team and move forward in the standings. Lets keep up the great work and communication and let the wins keep on flowing!
