Rebel alumni player Jake Bichko is a standout forward for the Junior Royals team this year.  This season in 21 games Jake has 15 goals and 14 assists for 29 points.    The Jr. Royals are currently leading the MET league with a 18-2 record and the highest win percentage in the league.    

According to his dad, the only thing Jake wanted was to play on the Rebels team.   Jake’s first year playing  for the Rebels they did not have a Mite team so Jake  played on the Rebels Squirt team for three years. Jake played his entire youth hockey career with the Rebels from Squirts  through Midget 16.     During his time with the Rebels Jakes teams won three Long Island Championships and appeared in two State Championships with one second place finish along with many Silver Stick and local tournament Championships.   

This year playing in the Metropolitan Junior Hockey League Jake has gotten the attention he desired from college and NAHL scouts.    Jake is currently ranked as the second highest goal scorer for the Royals and is  ranked 12th in the MET league for points.  

Junior Royals Head Coach Ken Hoey said that Jake is one of the boys this year that he believes has the capabilities to move up onto a NAHL team next year.     The Rebels Organization is proud of Jake and will follow his hockey career in the coming future.      

If you would like to meet Jake or the other members of the Junior Royals team they will be participating in the Buddy Skate on December 30th.
