Weather causes Rebels game to be postponed

Feb 13, 2019 | 2:40 PM

Road closures resulting from weather issues have forced the postponement of tonight’s Red Deer Rebels game scheduled in Everett, Washington.

The Rebels left Spokane, Washington after their 4-3 overtime loss Tuesday night on their way to Everett.

However, the Rebels bus was forced to stop in Hood River, Oregon at about 3 a.m. after weather issues resulted in road closures.

Hood River, Oregon, is located about 4.5 hours south of Everett, Washington.

The team made the best of their travel delay by spending the day at a local McDonald’s restaurant.
