Marc Habscheid resigns as Rebels head coach

The Red Deer Rebels announced Marc Habscheid has resigned as head coach of the club.

He served in the role in Red Deer for just one season and explained he wants to return to his home in Europe.

“After living back in Canada this last year, I realize that my heart lays in Europe where I’ve lived in my home for the past four years,” Habscheid said in a media release. “I am thankful for the opportunity to coach the Rebels and wish nothing but success to Brent and the entire organization.”

Habscheid helped the Rebels achieve a 26-36-4-2 record this past season en route to a return to the WHL postseason.
