The RDP Kings Hockey team will have new head coach behind the bench during the 2025/2026 Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) season.  

Cody Reynolds, formerly an associate coach with the Kings, has been named interim head coach after Trevor Keeper accepted a head coaching position with the University of Regina Cougars Men's Hockey team in U Sports. 

Reynolds brings a wealth of experience both on and off the ice. Since joining the Kings' coaching staff in 2013, he has been a key contributor to the team's success. Under his guidance as associate coach, the Kings secured three consecutive ACAC Championships. Over the past three seasons, they amassed a 45-27 regular season record (0.625) and an impressive 17-2 playoff record (0.895). In its storied history, the RDP Kings Hockey program has claimed 11 ACAC Championships. 

"I am extremely excited and grateful to lead the Kings Hockey program at RDP. We have built an incredible culture here over the years and I look forward to continuing the legacy in a new role," says Reynolds. "Red Deer Polytechnic is a place that is close to my heart. I met my wife here in the Education program and we have built a beautiful family while coaching at an institution that started it all for us. I'd like to thank RDP for the opportunity and my family for supporting me as we look to reload for another championship season."
