Bring on the Rebels.
The Calgary Hitmen and Red Deer Rebels appeared to be on a post-season collision course for the past couple months.
It’s now a reality.
The Lethbridge Hurricanes locked up the Central Division crown by pounding Medicine Hat 9-3 Friday night, moving the Tigers one step closer to extinction.
The Hitmen will hit the road to begin the opening round of the playoffs next Friday and Saturday at the Red Deer Centrium.
Game 3 goes Sunday at the Dome before the series shifts to the Stampede Corral for Game 4 on Friday, April 1.
