The Castlegar Rebels had a busy weekend with three games in three days. The Rebels picked up four out of six points, beating Creston Valley, Spokane and falling to Beaver Valley.
On Friday, the Rebs travelled to Creston and beat the Creston Valley Thunder Cats 5-3.
Brandon Formosa opened up the scoring for the Cats with a power play goal at 14:53 of the first period. Goals from Stuart Walton and Connor Bowen put Castlegar up 2-1. Scott Swiston tied the game at 2-2 with a power play goal with 2:17 left in the first period. The Rebels then took the lead again half a minute later with Nolan Kinney scoring assisted by Anthony Delong and Walton.
Braydon Horcoff put the Rebels up 4-2 at 9:18 of the second period with assists from Peter Mingus and Daylen Pearson.
Creston Valley cut the gap to one with a power play goal from Jesse Collins at 5:19 of the third period. However, the Thunder Cats would get no closer. Pearson scored an empty netter with 16 seconds left to seal the 5-3 win for Castlegar.
The next night, the boys were in Fruitvale where they fell to the surging Beaver Valley Nitehawks and had a chance to gain some ground against their divisional rivals. However, the 'Hawks had other ideas as they soundly thrashed the Rebels.
Beaver Valley pushed ahead 3-0 with goals by Ryan Edwards, Tyler Collins, and Dallas Calvin, and again 5-1 with Josh Peters and Mason Spear scoring. The final score was 7-4 for the Nitehawks, who are second place in the Neil Murdoch Division, three points ahead of Castlegar.
Delong provided most of the scoring for the Rebels as he netted a hat-trick. Arthur Andrews scored the other Castlegar goal.
Pearson chipped in with three assists.
The Rebels returned to Castlegar on Sunday afternoon where they beat Spokane 5-2 led by a hat-trick from Kinney and two goals from Brenden Heinrich.
