Whether they stay at home or come from the other side of the globe, Medicine Hat College athletes are always at the top of their game.

The Rattlers have teams in basketball, volleyball, soccer, futsal and golf, with home games just about every weekend from September through February. Whether in the aptly named Snake Pit, outside on the soccer pitch or anywhere else they compete, the black and gold represents the city with pride - and venom.

They do it while working just as hard in the classroom for whatever playing field comes next.
