Rebels Hire New Coach & GM June 8th 2007The Castlegar Rebels are pleased the signing of
Brent Heaven as their new Coach and General Manager. Heaven played junior hockey in the KIJHL with the Osoyoos Heat and later moved on to the BCJHL with Quesnel and later Powell River. In his stint with the
Heat, Heaven, demonstrating his strong leadership skills and his strong will to win, was named the MVP of his team, both for the regular season and the playoffs. After his playing days were over, Heaven coached both in lacrosse and hockey in
several different capacities, most recently as a Rebels Assistant coach for two years under former Head Coach Aaron Wilbur. Heaven has many connections throughout the BCJHL and the WHL which will serve him well in his new role.
Heaven has also a background in training hockey players through his association with the Inside Edge Hockey Development Program as well as the Howie Meeker Hockey School based in Parksville.
Heaven will commence his new duties today, and will be contacting all eligible players from last year and recruiting new players immediately. Jim Craig President Castlegar
