The Char-Lan Rebels were a junior ice hockey team in Williamstown, Ontario. Between 2014–15 and the end of the 2019–20 seasons, the EOJHL and the CCHL set a new agreement in an attempt to create a better player development model. This resulted in the league re-branding itself as the Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2 (CCHL2), and shrinking to 16 teams and two divisions. The league reverted to the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League for 2021.
Upon the completion of the 2023–24 season it was announced that the Alexandia Glens and the Char-Lan Rebels would merge. The new team will be known as the Glengarry Brigade.[1]
The Rebels have an intense rivalry with the Alexandria Glens. The rivalry has been touted as "The Battle of Glengarry" within the local community.[citation needed] Games between the teams are often heated events.
