The Rebels started their 14th season with a draw versus the Trojans. The scoring came early for the Rebels when Scott found the back of the net just 24 seconds into the game. Matt Greenwood added to the lead scoring near the half way mark of the first frame. The Trojans then came back with three unanswered goals to take the lead. The Rebels fought hard though and were rewarded when Darcy scored with just 2 minutes left in the game to tie things up. Overtime settled nothing so both teams went away with a point.

Rebels Win Their Second Winter Championship In A Row!

The Rebels and Wolfpack played a tight defensive game 2 of the best of 3 finals. Mike scored early in the game and Scott H. managed to hang on and blank the Wolfpack to give the Rebels a 1-0 victory and 2-0 series win to earn them their second consecutive winter championship. Last year it was Mike who scored the winning goal to take the Divison 9 title and this year Mike did it again to earn the Division 10 title.
The Rebels were shaky during the regular season, only managing to squeak into the top 6 by winning their last game of the season and having the Super Troopers lose 6th place due to them losing their last game. But when the playoffs started the Rebels came together and played hard every shift. Scoring began coming from all 3 forward and defensive lines and as a result the team had 1 OT Loss and then 3 wins in a row to earn the title.

The Wolfpack managed to beat Scott H. just one more time but it was too late for any type of comeback by that point and the Rebels went on to take the 1-0 lead in the best of 3 division final. Gary ended the night with a hat trick while Gino, Mike. Matt Gillespie and Shane all tallied 2 point each.

Rebels Win Big Against First Place Gnashers

The Rebels had a HUGE win versus the Knowlton Gnashers on Saturday. They racked up a 6-0 lead and it wasn't until late in the second half that the Gnashers managed to beat Scott H. twice while on a 4 minute powerplay. Chris Finch and Gary tallied 2 goals each while Darcy, Matt Gillespie, Shane, Mike, and Alex all added two point each. With the win the Rebels, Gnashers and Crushers all ended the round robin with 1 win and 1 loss each but because the Rebels got that extra point for an OT loss they came out with 3 points while the other two teams only came away with 2 points a piece. With that bit of math the Rebels will advance to the Finals for the second winter season in a row where they'll face the Wolfpack!

Rebels Come up Short in 4th OT

The Rebels played a marathon 69 minute game versus the Crushers in the opening game of the semi final round robin playoffs. Unfortunately, a bad bounce led to the the Crushers getting a lucky goal and winning the game. Gary came away with 2 goals and an assist for a 3 point night while Matt Gillespie netted a goal and an assist and Mike added two helpers to give them each 2 points a piece. Next up the Rebels face the Knowlton Gnashers in a must win situation in order to further themselves in the playoffs.
