RECORD-SETTING WIN STREAK!
The Red Deer Rebels have set a new franchise record by winning 10 games in a row to begin the season!
The record-setting win came last Wednesday, October 19 when the Rebels doubled up the Calgary Hitmen 5-2 at the Peavey Mart Centrium. The Rebels followed up with 4-2 road win Friday night at Medicine Hat then capped off a perfect three-win week with a 3-0 blanking of the Prince Albert Raiders in front of a season-high 5,223 fans at the Peavey Mart Centrium.
The previous franchise record of seven wins in a row to begin a season was set by the 2000-01 Red Deer Rebels squad that won the Memorial Cup.

Just when we thought our smiles couldn’t get any bigger – they did! And we have the Red Deer community to thank for their overwhelming support.
We are so excited to share the total from the Tim Hortons Smile Cookie Campaign this past spring…and it’s very impressive. In fact, it’s an all-time record, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
Over the long-week campaign held April 28-May 4, Red Deerians indulged in a lot of cookies – $80,773 worth! These funds will go directly to helping struggling readers become readers of potential through Reading College, a project of The Foundation for Red Deer Public Schools.
Reading College, held each July, provides students with identified reading gaps an incredible summer experience that builds their skills, confidence, and love for reading. Students leave the program with stronger reading and writing abilities, and a solid foundation for success in school and life. Now in its 14th year, 1,000 students have graduated from Reading College.
“We continue to be amazed by the generosity of our community and the partnership with Tim Hortons,” said Kristine Plastow, Board Chair for The Foundation for Red Deer Public Schools. “These dollars directly impact kids who need extra support to become confident readers. The difference this program makes is life-changing.”
Tanya Doucette, Tim Hortons Restaurant Owner in Red Deer, said it’s incredible to see what can happen when a community comes together. The simple act of purchasing a cookie by so many amazing guests, makes a huge difference for young students right here in Red Deer.
“This record-breaking year shows how much our guests care. We are so pleased to support Reading College and help give students the tools they need to thrive,” she said.
