After a summer of training, the RDP Cross Country Running team will put its skills to the test at Running Room Grand Prix #1 in Edmonton. 

The Red Deer Rebels have set their 2024-25 WHL pre-season roster ahead of Friday night's pre-season opener in Calgary.

The Rebels start the pre-season with 31 players on the roster, including 19 forwards, 8 defencemen, and 4 goaltenders.

The Red Deer Rebels have signed forwards Luke Jamieson and Nolan Schmidt. 

Both have signed a WHL Scholarship and Development Agreement with the team.
