South Pittsburgh Rebellion would like to share an exciting update for our 2011 Birth Year team.

Tim Creahan is stepping down as head coach as his son, Brennan, moves on to AAA Tier 1 hockey. We are incredibly proud of Brennan and wish him and the Creahan family continued success at the next level.

We would also like to thank Tim for his leadership and dedication to the 2011 group over the years. His impact on the program has been tremendous, highlighted by a Nationals appearance, Mid-State title, two PAHL playoff championships, and a PAHL season banner. We are fortunate that Tim will continue to be part of the organization and serve on the board.

We are excited to announce that Nick Santora will serve as head coach of the 2011 BY team for the 2026–2027 season. Nick has been a key part of our program and brings continuity, experience, and a strong commitment to player development. The board has full confidence in his leadership as he guides this group forward.

Our focus remains on helping each player reach their full potential—both on and off the ice—while continuing to build a competitive and development-driven program.
