The Red Deer Rebels pick one minor hockey player to be the "Little Rebel" who get to skate with them during warm up before each of their home games. Bennett, with the help if his dad contacting the right person was chosen for the honour. A little nervous and excited, Bennett suited up in the jersey they gave him and was ready for his big debut. He first got to watch warm up on the Rebels bench which allowed from a couple special conversations with some of the players. As the players left the ice, Bennett had to help collect all of the pucks. He then went back down below and waited to high five the players as they entered the ice for game time. He followed the last player onto the ice and joined the team for their huddle. Bennett let us in on the secret talk in the huddle, where the captain said "lets rock this game Bennett!!" Lastly he got to stand beside the starters for the singing of O Canada and where they introduced him as the Little Rebel for the game. Grandma Wecker changed her plans a bit to come and cheer Bennett on with us. We were a couple proud parents and grandma! Gavin the little trooper cheered on his brother while he enjoyed ALL the treats a hockey game has to offer.
