Rebels this week: Home from the U.S.

Home from the U.S.A.

It certainly was not the road trip the Red Deer Rebels wanted to have as the club went winless (0-4-0-2) in six games through the U.S. Division.

The good news for the Rebels is they remain in a playoff spot in the WHL Eastern Conference as of November 18 and have a full week of preparation available to prepare for their next games.

Called to the Hall

On November 8, Rebels Owner/President/General Manager Brent Sutter was announced as the 16th inductee into the New York Islanders Hall of Fame.

Sutter was drafted 17th overall by the Islanders in 1980 and played 12 seasons for them. In 694 games, Sutter racked up 610 points (287 goals and 323 assists), which is sixth all-time in franchise history, and won the Stanley Cup in 1982 and 1983 with the Islanders. He ranks in the top ten in Islanders history in even strength points, even strength goals, game-winning goals, power-play points, power-play goals and short-handed goals.

Sutter will be officially honoured by the Islanders on January 18, 2025.
