ASSINIBOIA — The Assiniboia Sr. Rebels have dominated the first half of the season in the Notekeu Hockey League, sitting atop the Wood River Division. However, they know that there is a target on their back and other strong teams in the league are looking to unseat them from the top.
The senior Rebels dropped two games in their matches in the new year. Yellowgrass defeated Assiniboia 6-4 on Jan. 3. A home game, Jan. 4, playing Rouleau Ramblers resulted in an overtime loss.
The Rebels are on the road this weekend with games in Avonlea on Jan. 10 and playing Coronach Merchants on Jan. 11. An uncharacteristic weekday game against the Mossbank Blades will be played in Mossbank on Jan. 15.
The last of the regular season for the senior hockey team will be played Jan. 18 and 25, with the last game at home on Jan. 31, hosting the Mossbank Blades.
Playoffs will be determined at that time so watch the club’s social media or the league’s website for details.
The new year brought a new addition to the roster as the league website shows Assiniboia adding Chase Dahlman.
League stats continue to show the Rebels with the top scorers in the league.
