Red Deer Rebels honour Rustlers’ storied history BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF The Red Deer Rustlers’ history was filled with h erfinancial struggles, coaching and ownership changes. But the franchise also produced a d pair of national championships (1971 and 1980) and some of the best players everr y to come out of the Alberta Junior Hockey League. n The Rustlers played a major role in he Red Deer’s sporting history, one that the Red Deer Rebels will honour tonight. ys The Rebels will wear replica jerseys ip from the 1979-80 national championship dteam, as they host the Prince Albert Raiders at the Centrium at 7:30 p.m. nt Rebels owner/GM/head coach Brent nSutter was the leader of the 1980 Centenhe nial Cup championship team that beat the lly North York Rangers 3-2 in the nationally televised final. he Sutter and his son Merrick, who is the ntsenior vice-president of the Rebels, wanted to honour the Rustlers, who folded for good after the 1988-89 season. ars “We’ve talked for a couple of years sey about having some sort of vintage jersey ial night, so we decided on the Centennial erCup jersey and it worked out,” said Merrick Sutter. “They were definitely the pioneers of junior hockey in Red Deer and when they folded, it left a void. Looking back, they were a major historical point for the city.”
