Grizzlys Edge Mustangs
By Sheldon Spackman
It was a close game at the Olds Sportsplex Tuesday night as the hometown Grizzlys managed to hold off the visiting Calgary Mustangs to earn a 4-3 victory in Alberta Junior Hockey League action.
The Grizzlys opened the scoring 44 seconds into the first period but Calgary answered back with two of their own to end the first frame with a 2-1 lead over Olds.
However, the second period turned out to be the turning point in the game as the Grizzlys scored three times to head into the second intermission up 4-2 over the Mustangs.
The third period saw Calgary score once more to make it close but they ran out of time, leaving Olds with a 4-3 win.
The victory improves the Grizzlys record to 4-6-2 on the season so far, good for 7th place in the AJHL’s Viterra South Division and one point behind Drumheller.
Calgary’s record drops to 2-12, last in the South Division and 6 points behind Olds.
The Grizzlys next action is Saturday night, October 22nd in Lloydminster to face the Bobcats.

End of an era for Red Deer Minor baseball Braves

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.
