The Ottawa Rebel was a team in the National Lacrosse League based in Ottawa, Ontario from 2001 until 2003. They played at the Corel Centre (now called Scotiabank Place) in nearby Kanata originally, but then part-way through the 2002 season, the Rebel moved to the Ottawa Civic Centre, which is a smaller arena, but more centrally located.[1] From 1997 until 2000 the team was located in Syracuse, New York and was called the Syracuse Smash.

The Rebel was owned by the Brad Watters group which also brought lacrosse to Toronto and Montreal.

In their first season in Ottawa the Rebel went 1-13 and finished ninth out of nine teams. Their second season was slightly better, going 4-12 but due to tie breakers they finished fourth in the Northern Division and 13th overall behind a Calgary Roughneck squad that also finished with a 4-12 record. Their third and final year in Ottawa they again finished 4-12 which placed them 4th in the Northern Division again but 10th out of 12 in the overall league standings.

As the Syracuse Smash they were last overall all three years prompting the move to the Canadian capital.

The franchise became inactive after the 2003 season. In 2005, it was purchased by Bruce Urban and moved to Edmonton, Alberta, becoming the Edmonton Rush.
