Jesse Wallin, General Manager/Head Coach of the Red Deer Rebels Hockey Club, and Randy Peterson, the team’s Director of Scouting, announced today that Senior Scout Dale McMullin has resigned from the team. McMullin had been with the Rebels since 2002.
Wallin and Peterson also announced today that they have hired Shaun Sutter as the team’s new Senior Scout. Sutter spent the last two seasons as an Assistant Coach with the Regina Pats. Prior to his time with the Pats, Sutter played professionally for 8 years. He also played in the Western Hockey League from 1997 to 2001 with the Lethbridge Hurricanes, Medicine Hat Tigers and the Calgary Hitmen. Sutter was a 4th round pick of the Calgary Flames in the 1998 National Hockey League Entry Draft.
Jesse Wallin - "We have been aware of the possibility of losing Dale for some time, so the succession planning process has been ongoing. This process has revealed Shaun to be the perfect fit to fill this position. It was important for us to find youth; someone who'd bring enthusiasm and a fresh perspective, but also someone who will grow in the organization and has the potential to take over the lead role should Randy ever move on. Shaun certainly fits the criteria, and combined with his experience in the game and in our league, I'm confident he will be a tremendous asset to the organization.”
Randy Peterson – “Shaun is an intelligent, hard working young man with a very good hockey background as a player and coach in the WHL I look forward to working closely with Shaun, and I'm excited for what he will bring to our scouting staff.”
