Rebels Win Division 9 Championship!

After 11 seasons, 269 games, 9 post season appearances and trips to two championship finals the Rebels have won their first Division title!
In the second game of the best of 3 finals the Rebels once again struck early. Just 34 seconds in Matt G. batted a rebound out of the air to find the back of the net. Gary then padded the lead with just under 8 minutes remaining but the Knowlton Gnashers responded back quickly and finished out the first half down by one goal. There was no scoring for the first 10 minutes of the second half until the Gnashers were able to sneak another one past Scott H. to tie things up. Then just 4 minutes later the Gnashers took the lead on a powerplay goal. The Rebels kept fighting though and got a lucky goal when Mike F. passed the ball into the slot and it went off a diving Gnasher defenseman and into the net just after the 6 minute mark. Then with just over a minute left and the face off in the Gnashers zone the Rebels won the face off, Mike P. ended up with the ball and took a quick wrister at the net. It missed on the short side and went around the boards. Devin picked it up and quickly threw it on the net, it went off a Gnasher defensemen and right to Mike P. who patiently settled the ball down and shot it into the wide open net giving the Rebels the lead with just 1 minute and 6 seconds left and ultimately giving them the win.
