Historical Win for Red Deer Senior AA Rustlers

RED DEER SENIOR RUSTLERS WIN 5-4 IN NCHL DEBUT

The Red Deer Senior Rustlers erase a 3-0 defecit to defeat the Devon Barons 5-4 in inagural North Central Hockey League game.

Despite falling behind 3-0 early, the Red Deer Senior Rustlers bounced back to defeat the Barons 5-4 in Devon in the team’s North Central Hockey League debut.

After getting two goals back and surrendering another to the Barons, the Rustlers tied the game 4-4 near the end of the second period, with Dustin Moore scoring the game-winner in the opening minutes of the third, his second goal of the game.

“The Barons played a great game, they came out hard and played a more physical game than maybe most of us were expecting,” said Moore. “We came out a little flat in the first period, but we stuck with it, figured it out, and were able to pull out a win in a memorable first game.”

Moore also had an assist for a three-point effort, and was named the game’s first star. Brennen Francon, Mike Dempster and Dylan Winnicky were the other Rustlers goal scorers. Goaltender Aaron Dyck earned the win for the Rustlers.

The Rustlers now look forward to four straight home games, including a rematch with the Barons on October 13, the team’s home-opener. Doors open at 7pm at the Penhold Multiplex, with puck drop set for 7:45, following a short ceremony at 7:30.

Tickets for the game are $10 at the door, children under 12 are free. Season tickets are also available as well for $65 each, which includes all eight Rustlers home games.

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.
