Opening Night
The effort Saturday night was one the Red Deer Rebels hope to copy throughout their 2024-25 Western Hockey League season.

Matteo Fabrizi scored Red Deer’s opening goal of the season. The Rebels outshot Lethbridge 31-14 on the night.
Tiger Tales
Next up for the Rebels is three-straight games versus the Medicine Hat Tigers, the top-ranked team in the Canadian Hockey League.
