Experience in AHL Helps Oilers
October 7, 2010 - Central Hockey League (CHL)
Tulsa Oilers News Release
There are a few more stories floating around the Tulsa Oilers training camp locker room these days.
Tulsa has had an influx of players return from American Hockey League training camps, as the Oilers gear up for their 19th Central Hockey League season.
"We had a lot of guys make strong impressions in the AHL," Oilers coach Bruce Ramsay said. "A lot of them stayed longer than originally we thought. And that's great for the players to get recognized, and the experience they get can only help us too. You never know what happens in the season, and a lot of these guys could get called up during the season."
Players who have recently returned to the Oilers include goaltender Trevor Cann, who was 11-6-1 with a 2.81 goals against average and .915 save percentage last season for the Oilers. Cann's preseason included an appearance with the Oilers' National Hockey League parent team, the Colorado Avalanche. He stopped all 24 shots he faced, playing half the game in a 3-1 Avalanche victory over the St. Louis Blues on September 21st.
Others who have recently returned to the Oiler camp from the AHL ranks include defensemen Tyler Fleck, Brennan Barker and Sean Erickson and forwards, Dan Riedel, Gary Stefffes, Chris Cloud, Chad Costello, Matt Robertson and Jason Weeks.
On Friday the Oilers will visit the Wichita Thunder for a preseason game, and then host the Thunder Saturday night at 7 p.m. at the Oilers Ice Center (64th and Mingo). Season ticket holders can pick up their season ticket booklets from 3-5 p.m. at the Oilers Ice Center on Saturday.
The Oilers had the second highest point total increase in the CHL last season under Ramsay, who was in his first season with the Oilers. They will have 33 home games at the BOK Center in the 2010-11 season, starting on Friday October 15th against the Wichita.
Season tickets for 2010-11 with plans for as low as $26 a month are now available by calling the Oilers office at 918-632-PUCK (7825).
