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.
