The 2011 season proved to be the most frustrating in
the five year history of the Surrey Rebels, as the
team went winless over 18 games in BC Intermediate
Lacrosse B League play. We would like to again
thank all of its volunteers, sponsors, fans and the
Surrey Lacrosse Association for enduring a second
consecutive non-playoff season and continuing their
support.
Although there were times where it looked as though
we were going to break through, something always
seemed to get in the way, be it ill-timed penalties,
fluke goals, injuries or player shortages in key
positions. Our final record was 0-18-0, a
franchise low. Individual highlights included
Madison Loos finishing tied for 25th in league
scoring with 30 points and Joey Puchmayr finishing
16th in league goaltending with a save percentage of
81.5%.
I would like to thank our head coach, Cameron
Fielding, his assistant coaches Marcus Kearney and
Braden Wilkins and our team manager Shari Millen for
their tireless efforts.
We will be graduating 13 players from our program
(Puchmayr, Loos, Zach Heit, Steven Munro, Ryan
Millen, Jacob Alger, Jerrod Sidhu, Riley Williams,
Nathanael Meyerhoff, Kyle Clarke, Richard Dorosh,
Kurtis Jahntz and Matthew Hein) and expect
most to be out at Junior Rebels training camp in 2012 vying for the
vacant roster spots. We expect most of
the remaining Intermediate players to be back for
the 2012 season and hope that the majority of
graduating Midget players will be out at training
camp.
Financially, we did well in 2011 despite only being
able to sign 20 players, two of whom from outside
Surrey for the first time in team history, down from
25 in the previous four seasons. Revenues from
50/50 draws at home games were down from 2010, but
we were able to cut costs, secure two sponsors and
receive $1,500 in gaming grant revenue from the
league to come close to break-even.
I would like to express my thanks again to Dennis
Ewen and the SLA Executive for their continued
support of senior programs. This was the final
season for Christine and I with the SLA after 14
seasons, the past five with the Intermediate Rebels
after founding the program in 2007, as our son
graduates from junior to pursue other senior
lacrosse endeavours. We are pleased to
announce that Toni Belich will be taking over the
reins as Governor/General Manager of the
Intermediate Rebels for 2012 and know that she will
do an excellent job.
F. J. (Frank) Geyer
Governor/General Manager
Surrey Rebels Intermediate Lacrosse Club (2011)
