                  Job well done ladies, you've made us all proud!!

                  I'm taking this little tidbit from a fellow teammate from her post on Facebook (Thanks Kait!!):

                  To my other Team AB girls who didn't make it - let me share words of encouragement that we're given to me this morning "...you WERE successful... You just didn't make the team.... You were SUCCESSFUL at testing your limits, you were successful at making new connections/friends, you were successful in strengthening your foundation & presence in the sport ... It's the FAILURES that make WINNERS shine..."

                  The 2012 Season has Officially Ended!
                  But the commitment continues on! We are continuing our commitment to fundraising and Ushering at upcoming Stampeders games and there is always a commitment to recruitment for everyone who plays for the RAGE!

                  Special Thanks to Liz's folks for housing our wind up party! Much appreciated for the beautiful accommodations and tolerance of us rowdy ladies! Also another big thanks to Connie, Liz and T (and many others) for getting food together and providing such an awesome spread for this event!

                  Huge Thanks to Crystal for all the montages! Kudos to you for taking on such a large project and doing a fabulous job!

                  Next, ushering... But onward to a fabulous 2013 season! Please contact us for more info regarding our club and look for us all over this beautiful city!

                  It's Busy on the RAGE Front!
                  The Calgary RAGE ladies will be at the Stamps vs. Roughriders game tonight handing out goodies to the fans wearing the game day colours of Red! We will be galavanting around in our jersey's (in case you didn't know, we are in Red/Black just like our Stamps!), come find one of us to get some free stuff!

                  Look for your girls helping out at a Stamps game now and then ushering in the stands, show them you know who they are! (next ushering commitment is July 28th!).

                  It's the End of a Great 2012 Season
                  Unfortunately the Calgary RAGE lost in the playoffs to the Edmonton Storm and have ended the season for another year!

                  We look forward to everyone's support again next season and can't wait to see all the new fans in the stands for our home games in 2013!

                  Many of our girls will be heading off to Montreal in August of this year to try their luck at making the National Team, keep checking the website for updates!

                  Check out the RAGE on BTV!

                  Show Your Spirit!
                  For many years the RAGE have been active participants in the 'Show Your Spirit' even at Spruce Meadows during the Equestrian Nationals here in Calgary. 

                  We had a small but effective showing this year at Spruce Meadows in what turned out to not be a terrible day! The Calgary RAGE won Best Athletic, raking in $1500 towards our team! Great job ladies (and Gentleman)! Check out our photo feed for some pictures from today's event! 



                  Thanks to Elisabeth for taking care of everyone after with a BBQ at her place!

                  Game 3 - A Valiant Effort!
                  Another hard fought loss on Saturday to the Lethbridge Steel. Another slow to start game for the RAGE made it difficult to catch up after a fluke play by the Steel to go ahead 19-7, but the RAGE persevered and slammed the ball in to make it a final score of 19-14 for the Home team. 

                  Mistakes cost us again, but with some fine tweaking we will be ready for the Storm on June 16th here in Calgary at Shouldice Park!

                  Game #3 is Almost Upon Us Calgary!
                  We will be boarding the bus and off to Lethbridge this weekend (June 2nd) for our last out of town regular season game against the Steel! 

                  It's always a great day for a road trip in Alberta, everyone pile into their cars and head down for a fantastic showdown between the RAGE and the Steel! (Fans, there is a $2/person charge at the gate!).

                  Game 2 Complete, Lets Give it Another Try!
                  With a loss to the Lethbridge Steel 19-6 on Saturday, it fuels the RAGE with energy and motivation to improve upon the mistakes made during the game and come out on top the next time the RAGE and the Steel meet!

                  Thanks to all of Calgary and all the fans that came out on Saturday, we managed to fill the stands at Encana field and also the RAGE was featured on Global Calgary and Lethbridge in the sports highlights (featured in the Media page!), now how cool is that?! 

                  The rematch is Saturday, June 2nd in Lethbridge, let's get some fans out there cheering for the ladies of the RAGE, it's always a great day for a road trip in Alberta!
