The Lacombe Generals suffered their first loss of the Chinook Hockey League season over the weekend, falling 4-3 to the Eagles in Stony Plain on Saturday night.

Stony Plain came out ready to play as they out shot the Generals 14-4 in the first period and earned a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes of play, thanks to a goal from Colton Hayes.

The second period saw things tighten up as the Generals out shot the Eagles 21-10 and both teams scored twice. Adam Chorneyko opened the scoring for Stony Plain just 38 seconds into the second period to give the Eagles a 2-0 lead but Lacombe got on the board later with a pair of goals from Myles Bell and Troy Hunter to tie it up at 2-2. Stony Plain’s Chad Hohmann then scored for the Eagles to give the hometown team a 3-2 lead heading into the second intermission.

It was Chad Hohman again who gave the Eagles a 4-2 lead after he scored at the 17:54 mark of the third period. It was the eventual game winner. However, Lacombe pulled to within one when Alex Macleod scored for the Generals to make it 4-3 Stony Plain and most of the third period still to play. That’s where it would stay though as Stony Plain hung on for a 4-3 victory, handing the Generals their first loss of the 2016-2017 season.

The Generals however redeemed themselves the next day in Fort Saskatchewan, as they beat the Chiefs 9-2.

First period goals came from Myles Bell, Jesse Todd and Alex Macleod which gave the Generals a 3-1 lead after twenty minutes of play, including one goal from the Chiefs . The second period saw three more goals from Lacombe. Ryan Kinasewich, Alex Macleod and Myles Bell all scored for the Generals with Fort Saskatchewan scoring once to give the visitors a 6-2 lead after two periods. The third period saw the Generals pop in three more just to put an exclamation point on the victory, with goals from Myles Bell, Ian Barteaux and Doug Jessey to make it a 9-2 final.

Lacombe’s record now stands at 7-1 with 14 points and still first place in the Chinook Hockey League. Stony Plain’s record is now 3-3-0-1 with 7 points and in third place, while Fort Saskatchewan falls to 1-5 with 2 points and fifth or last place overall.

The Generals next game is Saturday, November 26th in Fort Saskatchewan against the Chiefs.

End of an era for Red Deer Minor baseball Braves

Published on December 6, 2023

From Red Deer Minor Baseball Board of Directors

Following many discussions within the Red Deer community, the baseball community, our association members, as well as our board of directors we have made the decision to move forward with rebranding our teams, currently known as the Braves. For our association the Braves name symbolized warrior strength, bravery and resilience, all qualities we were proud to align with; and although the initial moniker of our teams was never intended to carry a derogatory or disrespectful connotation, for some, it has. The topic of our rebrand has been polarizing and arguments both for and against have been passionately presented. We have made the decision to move forward in the direction we feel is best for our association.

In alignment with the membership majority vote, the Red Deer Minor Baseball Board of Directors is excited to announce that we will now be known as the Red Deer Rangers.

The Red Deer Rangers will retain our current navy and crimson colors and will not adopt the colors or logo of the MLB, NHL, or any other Rangers franchise. We are looking forward to forging our own identity and embracing our own look.

As you can appreciate this is a complex initiative that will take time. We will remain the Braves for the 2024 season and aim to have our rebrand complete for the 2025 season.

All participants that submitted the Rangers name during our rebranding poll, will be entered into a draw to receive the first Red Deer Rangers jersey.

We hope you will join us in celebrating this positive endeavor as we create a new inclusive legacy for our association that all can be proud of.
