RED DEER - Red Deer Rebels Owner, President and General Manager Brent Sutter today announced the hiring of Clayton Beddoes as Assistant Coach.
The native of Bentley, AB returns home after a lengthy professional and playing career. This will be his second stint with the Rebels after he served as the club's Skills Coach in 2014-15.
"We are very excited to add Clayton to our club," says Sutter. "His extensive hockey knowledge as both a player and coach will be a great compliment to our young coaching staff."
The former Red Deer Optimist Chief and Red Deer Rustler (AJHL) played four seasons with Lake Superior State University (NCAA) before suiting up for the Boston Bruins for two seasons (1995-97). Beddoes later played in the IHL, Germany and Italy before retiring in 2002 after playing for the Anchorage Aces (WCHL). He won the Spengler Cup as a member of Team Canada in 1992-93.
His coaching career includes stints with club teams in Germany and Italy, and with the national men's team programs in both countries. Beddoes most recently was an assistant coach with Kunlun Red Star (KHL) and the Chinese national program in 2021-22.
Beddoes joins a Rebels coaching staff that includes newly hired Head Coach Derrick Walser, Assistant Coach Mike Egener, Skills Coach Erik Lodge, and Director of Goaltending/Goaltending Coach Ian Gordon.
