The
Red Deer Rebels are a Western Hockey League junior ice hockey team based in Red Deer,
Alberta
, Canada
. They
play their home games at the
ENMAX
Centrium.
The Rebels had the first overall pick in the
2008 WHL Bantam Draft,
choosing Burnaby
, British
Columbia
native
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
The Rebels were a very successful team in the early 2000s winning
three consecutive division and conference titles between 2000–01
and 2002–03. This period began with a WHL and
Memorial Cup championship in
2001 when Doug Lynch scored the overtime
winner against the
Val-d'Or
Foreurs. The Rebels were unable to duplicate this feat,
however, falling in the league championship series the next two
seasons.
President, and owner
Brent Sutter was
also highly successful while serving as Team Canada's coach at both
the
2005
World Junior Ice Hockey Championships and
2006 World Junior Ice
Hockey Championships. His older brother,
Brian has taken over the reins of the team for
the upcoming season.
Jesse Wallin was
named as the new head coach on March 24, 2008.
