The Neepawa Natives Booster Club is planning to hold a big pep rally at the Yellowhead Centre on Sunday, Mar. 12 to kick off the team’s first playoff run in seven years.

Head coach Dustin Howden said at the start of the year he promised the team would be in the playoffs and the players responded to his guidance in spades winning 9 of their last 12 games, many of them in convincing fashion. The team beat the fourth ranked team in Canada, the league leading Steinbach Pistons late in March and clinched their playoff spot against 8th place rivals, the  Swan Valley Stampeders on March 5 by a 6-3 score.

The Sunday pep rally is open to everyone and will feature music, food and lot of fun. Food and refreshments will be modestly priced. HyLife Foods famous pork burgers will be served. Other sponsors include Neepawa ShopEasy, Neepawa Gladstone Co-op, The Farmery Brewery and Tim Hortons. Others suppliers are generously coming on board.

Doors open at 4 p.m. Food will be served at 4:30. Game time is 6:30 p.m.

At the regular season closing game there were almost 1000 people in attendance, the 50/50 draw pot was over $1300 and the mood was magical. The Booster Club hopes everyone will come out to cheer our team. The players and staff have worked hard for years to reach this point and could use a lot of fan support to kick of the playoffs.
