The Red Deer Rebels announced on Tuesday they completed a trade with the Seattle Thunderbirds.

The Rebels picked up forward Zane Torre from the club and in return sent a fourth-round pick at the 2025 WHL Prospects Draft, which originally belong to Everett, and a conditional fourth-round pick at the 2028 WHL Prospects Draft.

The 17-year-old from Ladera Ranch, California was selected by Seattle in the second round, 43rd overall at the 2023 WHL U.S. Priority Draft.

The six-foot tall and 185-pound American played this year with the Shattuck’s St. Mary’s 16U AAA squad where he notched 27 goals and 26 assists for 53 points in 49 games.

He also helped lead Team USA to a gold medal at the 2024 Winter Youth Olympic Games in South Korea. The right-handed winger had five points in four games.
