REBELS LOOK TO REBUILD ROSTER AFTER END OF SEASON EXODUS
Berlin Rebels look to have plenty of rebuilding work to do before the start of the 2009 Division 2 Bundesliga Nord season kicks off. This off season has seen them lose twelve players, plus two key members of staff in an exodus that could hit the team hard. Head Coach Volker Hertzberg has now joined the management team at the Rebels, but offense co-ordinator Heiko Guse will join Berlin rivals Spandau Bulldogs as head coach, while seven players from the 2008 roster ended their careers and a further five sought trades to another club. The O-line was hardest hit with six players off the roster, and it looks like the Rebels are going to have to rebuild this important aspect of their offense, if they are to match their success of reaching the play offs in the 2008 season.
