The Red Deer Rebels are starting the season with more than just a new head coach — players will return to a first-class facility at the Marchant Crane Centrium.
After last season ended, the club began a full renovation and expansion of its hockey amenities, wrapping up work just in time for training camp.
The project included a rebuilt dressing room with new stalls, flooring and lighting, an expanded fitness centre, a new players’ lounge and nutrition bar, an updated recovery zone, and an enlarged video and coaches’ area. A new shooting room is still under construction.
“We undertook this project because we want to provide our players with a first-class experience on and off the ice,” said Merrick Sutter, Rebels senior vice-president. “We’re proud of these new and improved amenities and are confident they will enhance our club’s reputation.”
Sutter believes the new facility will make the Rebels a desirable destination for players to enjoy their junior career to the fullest.
