Danny Ramazanov signs with Rebels
RED DEER – The Red Deer Rebels are excited to announce that forward Danel (Danny) Ramazanov has signed a WHL Scholarship and Development Agreement with the team.
Ramazanov was selected by the Rebels in round one, 17th overall at the 2026 WHL Prospects Draft.
Originally from Kazakhstan, the Saskatoon, SK resident led the Northern Alberta Xtreme (NAX) U15 Prep in scoring in 2025-26 with 26 goals and 58 points in 29 games. He racked up eight points in six games at the prestigious John Reid Memorial tournament.
“He’s an exciting player with the ability to score highlight reel goals and make plays at very, very high speed. He makes everyone around him better and is very competitive for an average size guy,” said Jamie Novakoski, Rebels Director of Player Personnel. “We anticipate him to be a top six forward and score some big goals for us down the road.”
Ramazanov will be at Rebels Training Camp this month and is slated to play U18 AAA this season with the Saskatoon Blazers.
