They rebounded in game 2 on March 28, winning 3-1, and the third and deciding game on Friday night saw the Rebels win 6-0 to capture the 2023 provincial title.

The Rebels will now take on the Winnipeg Ice on April 7-9 in Regina, with the winner advancing to the Esso Cup national championship in Prince Albert on April 24-29.

Addison, the daughter of Trisha and Bruce Greve, plays on left wing, and Rayna, daughter of Twyla Marr and Ryan Hennie, plays defence.
