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

Rebels beat Oil Kings to wrap up preseason -
RED DEER, AB - It was a successful end to the preseason Friday night for the Red Deer Rebels as they doubled up the visiting Edmonton Oil Kings 4-2 at the Marchant Crane Centrium. The Rebels earned their second win in as many night following Thursday's 4-1 win in Lethbridge to finish preseason play with a 2-1-1-0 record. 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
