No Overtime This Time As Rebels Win Second Straight Game
The Rebels won their second game in a row by beating out the Penetrators 5-3. The line of Kyle, Dean, and Cody contributed all the points this game... Kyle had a hat trick and two assists, Dean had two goals, and Cody helped out with two assists. The Penetrators had a lot of offense but Nestor was on his game stopping most of the never ending shots that came his way. The win now places us in 3rd place overall but in a 3 way tie for first place with the Ultimate Warriors and Team Chaos. Our next game will be a very important one as we play Team Chaos and a win will help us secure that first spot in Division 9.

Rebels Play Second Straight Overtime Game
The Rebels went into OT for the second time in two games but had a better outcome this time around managing a tie versus The Awesomes. The Rebels took the lead 4-3 with just over 2 minutes remaining in the game but The Awesomes managed to score on the powerplay with just 13 seconds left to force overtime. Nothing was decided in the extra frame giving both teams a point in the standings. We were averaging 20 penalty minutes per game but only had 6 minutes this game so this is a marked improvement from the first quarter of the season.

Rebels Lose In Overtime
The Rebels lost 3-2 to the Monstars in OT bringing our season record to 6 and 2. It was another close game with the score tied at 2 at the end of the first half and no scoring by either team in the second. The Rebels ran into penalty trouble most of the game but were able to kill them off to keep the game close. That could only go on for so long though and the Monstars were finally able to score on the powerplay which, unfortunately, was in overtime.

Rebels Winning Streak Ends
The Rebels suffered their first lost of the season after being defeated by the Blazers 6-4. The game was back and forth with the Rebels playing catch up, answering back after each goal by the Blazers to keep things tied up. It wasn't until the last 5 minutes of the game that the Blazers were able to score two quick goals to take the win. Matt answered the call to have more guys step up by scoring two goals, one of which was a dump in from centre that went over the goalie's head and wound up in the net. Next up is a game against the Monstars which is made up of a lot of players from the Winners from last year.

Rebels Win Sixth Straight Game
The Rebels beat out the Pylons by a narrow margin of 2-1 to win their sixth game in a row. Barry scored the winning goal short handed by hustling on the forecheck and stripping the ball from the opposition behind their net then coming out front and squeaking it past the goaltender. The Rebels are now the only team in the division who are still undefeated which puts us in sole position of first place!
