Rebels take the long road to their first win
March 6, 2021
Heading into the fourth game of the season, the Red Deer Rebels had not yet picked up their first win.
The Rebels changed their fortunes when last season’s leading scorer
Arshdeep Bains sealed the comeback win in overtime, beating
Jack McNaughton on a two-on-one. McNaughton had been drawn out of the net by
Ben King and Bains had a wide-open cage to pot the winner.
“Les brought it up the ice, Bainsy (Bains) got on it and I saw a two-on-one,” said Ben King. “Bainsy fed it over, I couldn’t get a clear shot so I just tried to give it back to him.

Last Game:
Overview: The youth movement is on in full force in Red Deer, with some high-profile WHL Draft selections entering the fray for the abbreviated 24-game season. Forward Kalan Lind – the younger brother of former Kelowna Rocket Kole Lind – joins the Rebels after being selected in the first round (sixth overall) of the 2020 WHL Draft. On the blueline, a pair of second rounders from the 2019 WHL Draft will look to get a feel for the game. Hunter Mayo, hailing from Saskatoon, was selected 23rd overall, while Jace Weir of Coldstream, B.C., was selected 38th overall.
