It was a disappointing loss for the Red Deer Rebels at the Enmax Centrium on Wednesday night. They were up late in the game but came up short when it was all said and done.

The first period saw Red Deer out shoot Lethbridge 15-9 but it was the Hurricanes who got on the board when Giorgio Estephan scored at the 8:18 mark to put the visitors up 1-0. Lethbridge had six players on the ice as their goalie was pulled for an upcoming Rebels penalty which never was called due to the Hurricanes goal.

The second period saw Red Deer get on the board with a power play goal from Jared Freadrich at the 7:52 mark to tie the game at 1-1.

The Rebels then went up 2-1 at the 11:47 mark of the third period when Brandon Hagel scored his 21st of the season. However, with 2:26 left to play, the Hurricanes Tyler Wong scored to tie it up at 2-2 and eventually send the game to overtime.

Unfortunately, that only lasted 46 seconds as Giorgio Estephan scored his second of the night for Lethbridge. It was the Hurricanes first shot on goal of the extra frame and ended the game in a 3-2 overtime loss for Red Deer.

Lethbridge now improves to 30-15-4-3 with 67 points and second place in the WHL’s Central Division. Red Deer falls to 22-21-5-3 with 52 points and third place in the Central Division.

The Rebels next game is Friday, February 3rd in Prince Albert against the Raiders.

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.
