The Red Deer Rebels have added an important piece to their coaching staff.

Owner, President and General Manager Brent Sutter announced this week that Ian Gordon is the team’s new Director of Goaltending.

Gordon comes to the Rebels after eight seasons with the Seattle Thunderbirds.

A native of North Battleford, SK, Gordon has also spent time as a goalie coach with Hockey Canada’s U17 program. He also owns and operates Ian Gordon Goaltending in Edmonton.

“With Ian’s experience working with young prospects and experienced goaltenders in our league, we’re excited to add him to our coaching and scouting staff,” said Sutter.
