*New* Salmonbellies Vanquish Rebels

A fifth season of Surrey Rebels Junior B lacrosse came to an end Friday night at Cloverdale Arena as the visiting New Westminster Salmonbellies again proved to powerful for the hosts and cruised to a 13-1 victory, sweeping the West Coast Junior Lacrosse League quarterfinal in two games.  Rebels Coach/GM Frank Geyer made a surprise move in an attempt to spark his troops by starting first year Intermediate Rebels goalie Joey Puchmayr in place of Jeff Geyer who had started all 22 games prior.  The move didn't have the desired effect, as the 'Bellies jumped out to a 7-0 lead after one period and led 10-0 after 20 minutes.  Geyer replaced Puchmayr for the final frame but the potent New West offence continued to roll with two more tallies before Tyler Voisey finally got the Rebels on the board on an unassisted goal at 8:47.  The visitors closed out the scoring with the only powerplay marker of the evening with 3:28 left.  Final shots were 68-25 in favour of the Salmonbellies.  Puchmayr stopped 40 of the 50 shots he faced, while Geyer blocked 15 of 18 in relief.

The Rebels will be in a rebuilding mode again in 2011 as a total of nine players (Cory Cutler, Cam Fielding, Colin Derby, Tyler Sherwood, Cory Gibbons, Matt Clarke, Braden Wilkins, Trent Wittal and Zack Peach) will be graduating.  The Friday night game also was the last for assistant coach Tim Fielding, who is retiring from coaching after nine seasons with Surrey Lacrosse, and head coach Frank Geyer, who is stepping away from the bench to concentrate on GM duties in 2011.

*New* Rebels Drop Post Season Opener

A second dominant effort by the first place New Westminster Salmonbellies proved too much for the eighth place Surrey Rebels as the Rebels lost Game 1 of a best-of-3 WCJLL quarterfinal 15-6 Wednesday night at Queen's Park Arena.  The Salmonbellies led 5-0 in goals and 35-5 in shots after the first period, with Rebels netminder Jeff Geyer once again tested often and looking sharp between the pipes.  The penalty kill was also a highlight of the period, killing off a crucial 4 minute short-handed situation when the game was still only 2-0.  Zack Peach got Surrey on the board 1:18 into the second period, assisted by Tyler Voisey and Cory Gibbons, and Brad Olson picked off a pass and buried a sweet shot at 12:32, with the 'Bellies netting two goals in between.  New West would add two more in a final four minute barrage which saw the home team blast another 16 shots at the Surrey net to make the period total 34 compared to the visitors' 15.

Patrick Butler opened in the final frame with his first of the post season 50 seconds in, from Olson and Max Richards, to make the score 9-3, but New West responded with three unanswered tallies on 14 shots that proved too much for Geyer, who left the game 6:13 into the period having stopped 71 of 83 shots he faced to that point.  Backup Joey Puchmayr was instantly welcomed to the game with a 13th Salmonbellies goal, but the Rebels quickly responded with three goals in just over three minutes - Voisey from Butler and Bobby Tammen, then Tammen from Olson and Scott O'Coin, and finally Matt Clarke from Richards and Braden Wilkins.  New West finished the scoring with a pair of markers in the final 2:42 and outshot Surrey 28-19 in the final frame.  Final shots favoured the Salmonbellies 97-39.  The Rebels went 0-for-3 with the man advantage, giving up one goal, and killed off all five penalties, picking up one short-handed tally.

Game 2 goes Friday, July 16 at Cloverdale Arena, 8:00pm face-off.  Game 3, if necessary, will return to New Westminster - date and time not yet set.

Rebels Announcer Honoured

That enthusiastic voice you hear over the public address system at Junior Rebels home games this season belongs to Nesan Furtado, who recently received honourable mention in the Surrey Leader's 2010 Community Leader Awards - Youth Volunteer category.  Nesan is a Grade 12 student at Fleetwood Park Secondary School, who has also announced for a number of other events and teams, including the BCHL Surrey Eagles.

He joined the Rebels early in the 2010 season, and also handles our home game music and helps with the scorekeeping.

Congratulations Nesan for a job well done!
