Rebels Clip Wingmen

The Rebels played arguably their best game of the season versus the Wingmen with a decisive 7-2 victory. The Wingmen struck first near the halfway mark of the first then got another quick goal just over a minute later to give them a 2-0 lead. It looked like it was going to be another one of those games but the Rebels didn't give up and surprised even themselves by scoring 4 goals in 2 minutes and 40 seconds to take a 4-2 lead going into the second half. The onslaught continued into the second as the Rebels found the back of the net 3 more times to give them 7 goals in a row and ultimately the win. Gary had a hat trick and an assist for a 4 point night and Shane came away with two goals and an assist for 3 points. Mike had a great outing as well tallying 4 assists while Dale netted a goal and 2 assists for a 3 point game. Gino rounded out the scoring. The win was bittersweet however as the Rebels had already been eliminated from the playoffs previous to this game.
It was a tough season for the Rebels... the team had over 150 man games lost due to injury or absences. That compares to the only 39 man games lost in their previous season where they won the division championship. The team will now regroup and look to strengthen themselves and look ahead to a bounce back season this coming October.

Rebels Edge Out Spitfires

The Rebels came from behind 3 times during the course of the game versus the Edmonton Spitfires to steal the win. They managed to take the lead with just under 5 minutes left in regulation and were able to hold on to that lead even while down a man and with the Spitfire's goalie pulled in the dying minutes. Gary, Mike and Jason T. all had 4 point nights while Steve and Scott ended with 2 points a piece. The win keeps the post season hopes alive for the Rebels who are now just 1 point out of that last playoff spot.

Rebels Get Bit By Cobra Kai

The Rebels have a decent defensive game with their "goals against" placing them in 10th place in division 9. Their "goals for" however, is what is causing their disappointing season. They sit in 19th place out of 22 teams in that column. The game versus Cobra Kai was another example of that. Scott C. was the lone scorer in a 3-1 loss. The Rebels are still holding on to 18th place but have slipped to 3 points out of the 16th and final playoff spot.

Rebels Lose to The Farm Team

The Rebels lost 5-4 versus The Farm Team. Gary had 2 goals and Curt and Mike rounded out the scoring. Chris L. and Mike both ended the night with 3 points a piece. The Rebels now sit in 16th place which is the final playoff spot. They are just one point up on 17th and 18th place and 2 points up on 19th and 20th so they'll need to work hard to earn those points in the coming games to spread the gap and ensure a post season.
