Evin eager to join Rebels bench

Alex Evin is excited to be back on a bench after a two-month break, that was long enough for him.

The Castlegar native spent eight years with the BCHL’s Prince George Spruce Kings, where he won the BCHL’s Fred Page Cup in 2019.  Evin joked about “getting bored” and the opportunity came to join the Castlegar Rebels for the rest of the season.

“It’s a local team, a team I’ve had respect for growing up as a young kid,” said Evin.

“The Rebels are an important part of the community. I couldn’t say no. I’m happy to join the group. They seem like great kids, they have a hard working team and good character. The staff leaves me a lot of potential and that’s a really good thing when you’re taking over a team. That’s what made me take it.”
