The O-Town Rebels are a junior ice hockey team from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. They began play in the 2016–17 season.[1]

History

The O-Town Rebels were one of the first teams announced for the new United Hockey Union-sanctioned Canadian Premier Junior Hockey League in June 2016. They held their first open camp in July 2016 and had 44 spots available for two teams; the junior level entry and a U18 club which is a part of an academy with another U18 club from North Glengarry.[2] Towards the end of the 2016–17 season, they had to forfeit some games due to lack of players. During the playoffs, they faced the Essa Stallions in the first round for a two-game aggregate goal series. After losing 3–7 at home in the first game, they reportedly forfeited the second game at Essa[3] and no results were announced by the league. However, one day later an unexplained result of a 0–5 loss to the Stallions was added to the league scoreboard while the Stallions and league only disclosed that Essa had moved on to the next round. After the 2016–17 season, the Rebels were removed from the league.
