The Castlegar Rebels held their annual main training camp this past weekend at the Castlegar Community Complex. Players from Alberta and B.C. were in town to show what they had to offer and try to earn a spot in the 2014-15 lineup.
The camp consisted of two teams playing each other three times with it all wrapping up Sunday afternoon.
The players came out and played hard and left it all on the ice.
The Rebels will now move forward with their exhibition season starting September 3 against the Creston Valley Thunder Cats in Creston.
Their first home exhibition game will come on September 4 with the Rebels taking on Grand Forks.
“We are looking forward to seeing the new and returning players back in game action and getting the season going with a strong exhibition season,” Jim Craig, President of the Rebels stated.
“This was one of the best camps I have seen in recent years with respect to talent and size. Although some of our best prospects were still in junior camps around the country, the potential exhibited in this camp was only going to give coach Dorrans some pleasant problems in determining the right mix of players for this seasons team.
“We were especially proud of the contingent of local players who attended. We saw some great young local prospects who are going to give the Rebels the talent we need to win a championship again.”
