Rebels This Week: Nov. 24-30

Nov 24, 2025 | 11:57 AM

Week in Review

The Rebels played just once this past week, and it turned out rather well…

November 21 – The Rebels welcomed the defending league champion Medicine Hat Tigers to the Marchant Crane Centrium for the first time this season. Trouble hit midway through the first period when the Tigers scored twice in 42 seconds for a quick two-goal lead. But the Rebels replied in quick order with two goals of their own just 24 seconds apart. After the two teams traded goals in the second period, the game eventually went to a shootout where the Rebels scored twice for a 4-3 win. Samuel Drancak and Beckett Hamilton each scored in both regulation time and the shootout. Drancak has now scored in eight-straight games, tying him for the second-longest streak in team history. Hamilton has now scored in three straight. Nate Yellowaga scored his first WHL goal for the Rebels while Matthew Kondro was solid in making 32 saves.

This Week

The Rebels have a pair of games on the docket this coming weekend. Friday night (Nov. 28), they host the Edmonton Oil Kings at the Marchant Crane Centrium at 7 p.m. Then on Sunday, they visit the Calgary Hitmen for a 2 p.m. matinee at the Scotiabank Saddledome.

Tickets for all Rebels home games are available through Tickets Alberta and reddeerrebels.com.

Every Rebels game – home and away – is broadcast exclusively on 106.7 REWIND Radio and Victory+.
