Rebels This Week: February 24

Another thriller versus the Blades

A nailbiter of a season series with the Saskatoon Blades came to a thrilling, albeit heartbreaking, end last weekend for the Rebels. The club erased a 2-0 deficit in the final two minutes of the third period before falling to the Blades 3-2 on a goal late in overtime. Ollie Josephson and Beckett Hamilton scored 1:19 apart, both with the goalie out for an extra attacker, to send the game to extra time. The Rebels earned points in all five games this season versus Saskatoon (2-0-3) with all five games decided by one goal.

Record-setting Sockey Day
The annual Family Day Matinee last Monday in Red Deer saw Rebels fans come through in a huge way with more than 5,100 pairs of new socks for Sockey Day in Red Deer. These socks will be given to those in need in the local community by United Way Central Alberta and their great partners. Shout out to Nova Chemicals for being a presenting sponsor of this great event.

Lengthy Homestand Continues

Two more home games for the Rebels this coming weekend at the Centrium. The Calgary Hitmen are back in town Friday, Feb. 28, for the fifth of eight head-to-head meetings this season. Then on Saturday, March 1, the Kelowna Rockets land for the lone meeting of the season with the Rebels. Both games go at 7 p.m. with tickets available at TicketsAlberta.com and reddeerrebels.com.
