The Rebels have traded 19-year-old goaltender Rhett Stoesser to Kelowna in exchange for a fourth-round pick at the 2025 WHL Prospects Draft, and a fourth-round pick at the 2027 WHL Prospects Draft.
Stoesser was signed by the Rebels after attending training camp in 2022 as a free agent invite. In 65 career appearances with the Rebels, the Carstairs, AB native has a 2.77 goals-against average, .899 save percentage, and a 33-21-2-4 record with five shutouts.
