Coming off a near-perfect 23-2 championship Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference season at the Russ Robertson Arena, the Rustlers are excited about their new home in the Co-op community arena at the new Cenovus Energy Hub.
Despite the absence of top-scorer Hailey Carothers on this year’s roster, the Rustlers seem to already be firing on all cylinders. The girls recently completed a 9-1 preseason with the only loss coming at the hands of the Team Saskatchewan U18 squad. The Rustlers scored 51 goals and allowed 15 in 10 games.
The puck drops at the Co-op community rink at 7 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 3 before the Rustlers head to Edmonton to face the NAIT Ooks on Oct. 4.
Friday’s home-opener will also feature a by-donation barbecue from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. by the Lloydminster and District Co-op with proceeds supporting the team.
The girls are back in action for a three-peat home weekend from Oct. 17 to Oct. 19 to host the Old College Broncos. The puck drops at 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday.
Tickets for home games are available at the door and are $10 for adults and $5 for seniors and kids.’
