I'll have photos and recap of this weekend's action sometime early next week. Your first chance to see the 2010-11 Rebels in action at the Complex will be their only home exhibition date, next Saturday, September 4th against Grand Forks.

Bits & Bites: former Rebels coach Brent Heaven will be joining Simon Wheeldon as co-coaches of the major midget Kootenay Ice. Kelowna has snapped up former Rebel and Revelstoke Grizzlies forward Luke Richardson as well as former Leafs Dane Rupert and Landon Andrusiak. Andrusiak's father Ken is the team's coach. Rebels goaltender Andrew Walton is at camp with the Trail Smoke Eaters, while forward Spencer Brodt and defenceman Tyler Jones are trying out for the Merritt Centennials. Castlegar native and former Edmonton Oil King Tyler Hlookoff is at camp with the Penticton Vees as well. Stay tuned to Mountain FM tomorrow (Wed) for some interesting news on a former Beaver Valley Nitehawk captain. One other small transaction to report, Creston Valley sent Matt Dixon (4-4-8 in 46 games in 09/10) to the VIJHL's Oceanside Generals for future considerations.
