Rebels Head Coach Steve Konowalchuk resigns for personal reasons
Steve Konowalchuk has stepped down as head coach of the Red Deer Rebels.
The move comes due to personal/family reasons, the club says.
It also comes just a couple weeks after the Rebels won three straight games, then dropped four in a row against Saskatoon in the second round of the WHL Playoffs.
During his end of season media availability, Rebels Owner, President and General Manager Brent Sutter gave Konowalchuk a vote of confidence, with all signs at the time pointing toward his return for a third season.
