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.
