Edmonton's training camp schedule

Press Release

The Edmonton Oil Kings hope the 3rd year will be charmed. Around 60 players will be hoping to make the final roster. The Oil Kings have 18 players returning from last years team.

"I'm excited as we have some very good 16 and 17 year old players coming to camp to make our hockey club," says Oil Kings GM Bob Green. "I expect competition to be fierce as I know our guys are excited to get going this year based on some of the successes we had last year."

The battle for the three over age spots on the roster should be interesting. Four returning players are in that category including Torrie Jung (G), Brett Breitkreuz (F), Craig McCallum (F) and Drew Nichol (D). They will be joined by Garret Thiessen (D) who was picked up on waivers from the Prince Albert Raiders.
