NOS 18 – Les Huskies pourront-ils encore ne faire qu’une bouchée de leurs adversaires? -
Ces dernières années, les bons moments ont largement été plus nombreux que les mauvais à Rouyn-Noranda. Quatre saisons consécutives avec plus de 80 points et une multitude de souvenirs en séries éliminatoires ont fait des Huskies l’un des adversaires les plus redoutables de la ligue. À présent, c’est à une équipe remaniée de montrer si elle sera à la hauteur des formidables formations du passé. Bien sûr, il n’y aura pas que des nouveaux venus. Malgré plusieurs échanges et le départ de vétérans clés, la constitution méthodique de l’effectif à Rouyn-Noranda a permis de conserver quelques visages familiers. En attaque, on retrouve les vétérans Samuel Beauchemin et Eliot Ogonowski. Samuel Rheault, Jayden Pominville, Niko El Khouri et Charles Laforest espèrent tous bâtir sur leurs impressionnantes premières saisons. Andreas Straka, joueur tenace et talentueux, est arrivé en ville à la suite d’un échange de pré-saison avec Québec. Malik Tremblay, sélectionné au premier tour du repêchage 202

OUR 18 – Can Huskies still take a bite out of the competition? -
There have been far more good times than bad in Rouyn-Noranda these last few years. Four straight 80-plus point campaigns and a slew of playoff memories have made the Huskies one of the league’s toughest challengers. Now, it’s up to a new look group to see how it measures up to the formidable clubs of the past. It’s not all newcomers, of course. Despite several trades and graduations, the methodical roster building in Rouyn-Noranda has kept a few familiar faces around. Up front, there’s veterans Samuel Beauchemin and Eliot Ogonowski. Samuel Rheault, Jayden Pominville, Niko El Khouri and Charles Laforest are all hoping to build off impressive rookie campaigns. Pesky but talented Andreas Straka has arrived in town following a pre-season swap with Québec. Malik Tremblay, selected in the first round of the 2026 QMJHL Draft, has turned in impressive results in camp so far. Perhaps the most talked about person in camp is Thomas Boisvert, the top selection at the 2026 QMJHL Draft. Fans and t

Salisbury brings confidence to Rebels camp -
By DANNY RODE - A year ago Nathan Salisbury was an invite to Red Deer Rebels training camp. All he did was grab the attention of the coaching staff to the point they kept their eye on the talented six-foot-three, 185-pound netminder out of Edmonton. He played last season with the Bonnyville Pontiacs of the AJHL where he was solid in 34 games finishing with a 3.21 goals-against-average, a .902 save percentage and a 17-14-1 record. He was named to the Alberta Junior Hockey League’s North All-Rookie Team. He impressed enough that the Rebels signed the 18-year-old on June 3. Salisbury returned to the Rebels camp this year and proved last year was no fluke, doing everything in his power, so far, to grab a spot on the club’s regular season roster. But Nathan isn’t one to assume anything in his battle with veterans Matthew Kondro and Peyton Shore. “I guess it’s on the back of my mind, but I’m not really focused on that,” he said. “They are my teammates and we do the bes

Rebels earn 4-1 preseason win in Lethbridge -
LETHBRIDGE, AB – Thursday Night Hockey in the Windy City saw the Red Deer Rebels continue their preseason with a road tilt versus the Lethbridge Hurricanes. It was a solid effort from start to finish for the Rebels as they skated to a 4-1 win for their first victory of the exhibition season. Nolan Schmidt opened the scoring for the Rebels when he crashed the crease and jammed the puck home for his first tally of the preseason. Lethbridge tied it a couple minutes later when a shot from defenceman Owen Berge banked off a Rebels defender and past netminder Nathan Salisbury. It was a 1-1 game through 20 minutes. Poul Andersen scored his second of the preseason in the first minute of period two as he tucked a deke past Hurricanes starting goalie Leif Oaten. Just 19 seconds later Patrick Sopiarz sniped his first for a quick 3-1 Rebels lead. That score would carry all the way into period three where the Hurricanes started with a flurry of scoring chances only to be denied by Rebels secon

Rookie Paxson Madill opened the scoring for Red Deer late in the first period when he tucked a backhand deke past Edmonton goalie Ethan Simcoe. Luc Trevors made it 2-0 with a fantastic individual effort that finished with a toe drag and snipe past Simcoe for his second goal of the preseason. Edmonton finally solved Rebels goalie Matthew Kondro in the opening minute of period three on a shot from defenceman Josh Lee. Graeme Pickering restored Red Deer's two-goal lead just over three minutes later as he walked into the slot and slid home a backhand for his first preseason tally. Just 1:15 later Jensen Marsh fired home a shot from the right faceoff
