🚨MYTHBUSTER MONDAY🚨 This week - travel for teams in the WIJHL ❌ Myth: The Rebels will have to travel more in the WIJHL. ✅ Fact: Rest assured, the move to the WIJHL keeps our travel footprint completely familiar! The league’s founding teams are the same teams that made up a large portion of our travel previously. This means the Rebels’ travel schedule will be relatively identical to our past seasons. This ensures stability for our players and staff as we launch into this next era. It’s a win-win for player comfort and logistical routine. #wearerebels #playforthegar #wijhl #mythbustermonday

🚨MYTHBUSTER MONDAY🚨 This week - on-ice officials in independent leagues: ❌ Myth: The WIJHL won’t have any referees or on-ice officials because it is independent. ✅ Fact: BC Hockey rules allow on-ice officials to work BC Minor Hockey and EITHER sanctioned junior hockey OR independent junior hockey. Officials simply cannot officiate in both junior leagues at the same time. #wearerebels #playforthegar #wijhl #mythbustermonday

🚨MYTHBUSTER MONDAY🚨 This week - affiliation options for Rebels players: Players on teams in the @wijhlhockey will have the opportunity to affiliate with the BCHL. Under this structure, players will affiliate with the league as a whole, rather than with a specific BCHL team. This approach allows players the flexibility to potentially play for multiple BCHL teams in a season. #wearerebels #playforthegar #wijhl #mythbustermonday
