ASSINIBOIA — The legend continues. Assiniboia’s senior men’s hockey team, the Rebels, are ready for the new season to start. Rebels’ faithful say they can’t wait for the reigning league champions’ season to begin.
The Notekeu Hockey League consists of 11 teams. Avonlea Arrows, Coronach Merchants, Gravelbourg Hornets, Hodgeville Huskies, Lafleche Flyers, Milestone Flyers, Mossbank Blades, Radville Nationals, Rouleau Ramblers and Yellow Grass Wheat Kings join the hometown Rebels in vying for league supremacy.
The league announced earlier this year that it would be expanding for the 2025‑26 season, with the Milestone Flyers joining the Notekeu Hockey League. The Milestone Flyers had previously been playing in the Qu’Appelle Valley Hockey League since 2000, winning three league titles and being league finalists five times. Before that, the Flyers were part of the now‑defunct Soo Line Hockey League.
The Rebels’ schedule includes a Halloween home opener, facing off against the Gravelbourg Hornets. Two of the five games lined up for November will be at Southland Co‑op Centre. The December schedule includes six games.
You can follow the team on their social‑media pages, as well as check schedules posted at the rink for upcoming games.
