SENIOR RUSTLERS TAKE INAUGURAL MATCHUP AGAINST SYLVAN LAKE PIRATES

The Red Deer Senior Rustlers and Sylvan Lake Pirates met for the first time Saturday night, with the Rustlers skating away with a 5-2 win.

The Red Deer Senior Rustlers moved to 3-0 in their inaugural North Central Hockey League season with a 5-2 win over the Sylvan Lake Pirates.

With both teams entering the NCHL this season, it was the inaugural meeting of the two squads, in what’s sure to develop into a spirited rivalry.

Dustin Moore led the way offensively for the Rustlers with four assists, while defenceman Eric Frere added three assists. Forward Ty Berkholtz scored two for the Rustlers before leaving the game late in the second after taking a high stick in the face, but would return to the game in the third.

Brett Bothwell earned his second win in as many starts, stopping 31 of 33 Sylvan Lake shots. Pirates goalie Adam Gingras made 31 saves in a losing effort for Sylvan Lake.

Event Details

RED DEER – Ignition Theatre is proud to present Pulitzer prize finalist Rajiv Joseph’s Gruesome Playground Injuries– celebrating the ten year anniversary of the provocative and controversial love story that has taken the theatre world by storm since its premiere in 2009. Performances begin January 17th and run through January 26th at the Red Deer Memorial Centre, Nickel Studio (Third Floor). Over the course of 30 years, the lives of Kayleen and Doug intersect at the most bizarre intervals, leading the two childhood friends to compare scars and the psychological calamities that keep drawing them together. “Gruesome…marks Ignition’s return to the provocative and edgy brand of theatre from which our reputation in the community was first formed.

"Gruesome…is an incredibly beautiful and complex examination of mental illness; an examination of pain, both physical and psychological, and our need to inflict pain upon others and ourselves as a means of survival. It’s a love story that desperately struggles to navigate and accept what love truly means. It’s a play full of questions, catharsis, and believe it or not, a deeply dark sense of humour.” – Matt Grue, Director, Gruesome Playground Injuries

Gruesome Playground Injuries is presented with a discretionary warning for coarse language, graphic imagery, sexuality and mature themes that may trigger those suffering from mental illness. Curtain is 7:30PM nightly. Tickets are $20.00 / $25.00 (Friday and Saturday Performances) Tickets available online and at the box office 30 minutes prior to curtain.
