The Rebels were a very successful team in the early 2000s winning three consecutive division and conference titles between 2000-01 and 2002-03. This period began with a WHL and Memorial Cup championship in 2001 when Doug Lynch scored the overtime winner against the Val-d'Or Foreurs. The Rebels were unable to duplicate this feat, however, falling in the league championship series the next two seasons.
