American defenceman Quentin Bourne has chosen to sign a WHL Standard Player Agreement with the Red Deer Rebels.

The team announced Sunday that Quentin Bourne, the WHL’s 8th overall selection at the 2021 WHL U.S. Priority Draft, had signed with the club.

A native of Torrance, California, the 5’8”, 150 lb. left-shooting blue liner had 25 points in 54 games this season with the Pittsburgh Penguins Elite 15U. Bourne previously played with Los Angeles Jr. Kings 14U AAA.

“We’re really excited an American player of Quentin’s calibre has chosen the Rebels and WHL to pursue his academic and hockey goals,” said Rebels Associate GM Shaun Sutter. “He is a smooth skating and skilled puck mover who plays an energetic game that our fans will identify with.”

Bourne is now eligible to join the Rebels roster for the 2022-23 WHL Regular Season.
