Looking back at past Rebels-Hurricanes playoff series
After going 15 years between playoff meetings, the Red Deer Rebels and Lethbridge Hurricanes are set to duel in the post-season for a second straight season.
It’ll be the sixth time the two Alberta rivals have met for a playoff series.
The first was way back in 1994. In just the second ever playoff appearance for the Rebels, with current Lethbridge GM Peter Anholt behind their bench, the Hurricanes claimed the best-of-five opening round affair three games to one.
However, the lone win for the Rebels provided the most memorable moment of the series as goalie Jason Clague was credited with the game winning goal. To this date, it’s the only time in WHL history that a goaltender has scored a game winning goal in the playoffs.
