Rebels Tender Forward Maksim Salienko

Jun 5, 2026

SEWELL, N.J. — The Philadelphia Rebels have tendered forward Maksim Salienko, adding a versatile two-way forward coming off a productive season in the NA3HL.

Salienko, 19, most recently played for the Wausau Cyclones during the 2025-26 season, where he recorded 13 goals and 23 assists for 36 points in 45 games. The 6-foot, 176-pound left-shot forward brings a blend of size, skating ability and playmaking touch.

“Maksim is a solid 200-foot player,” Rebels head coach and general manager Justin Hale said. “He has size and skating ability to be hard to play against in both ends. Maks also has a good skill set and ability to make plays with the puck on his stick.”

A native of Stevens Point, Wisconsin, Salienko developed through the Wisconsin AAA system, including Team Wisconsin and Chippewa Falls Steel 18U AAA, before advancing to high school hockey with Stevens Point Area High School. In 2024-25, he posted 35 points in 24 games at the high school level.

Salienko adds depth and versatility to the Rebels’ forward core heading into the 2026-27 campaign.
