Senior Rustlers open inaugural season Saturday
The Red Deer Senior AA Rustlers kick off their inaugural North Central Hockey League season Saturday night against the Oil Barons in Devon.
Following a 6-2 pre-season win against the Eckville Eagles on Sunday, the Rustlers are set to embark on their inaugural regular season just five months after being accepted into the NCHL.
“It’s hard to believe our season opener is already here,” said Vice President and Assistant Captain Kyle Pess. “It seems like just yesterday we were sitting around just throwing out the idea of starting a Senior AA team, and now we’re days away from kicking our season off in Devon.”
The Rustlers’ first home game will go the following Saturday, October 13 in Penhold, and Pess said there’s already plenty of buzz surrounding the team’s home opener.
