Edmonton Oil Kings News Release
Edmonton, AB - The Edmonton Oil Kings acquired 2005-born forward Cole Miller from the Lethbridge Hurricanes in exchange for a 2023 second-round pick and a 2025 fourth-round pick (via Kelowna) in the WHL Prospects Draft, the team announced today.
Miller, an Edmonton, AB product, played in 11 games with the Hurricanes last season, recording one goal and a -2 plus/minus rating.
The 6-foot-4, 174-pound centerman was originally a first-round selection, 16th-overall, by the Hurricanes in the 2020 WHL Prospects Draft.
In five games with the Norther Alberta Xtreme U18 Prep team this year, he has tallied nine assists and 15 penalty minutes. Prior to joining NAX, he also played his minor with the Maple Leafs Athletic Club and Knights of Columbus.
"The organization is excited to add Cole to our strong group of 2005 born players," said Oil Kings President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Kirt Hill. "Opportunities to acquire elite young players don't happen very often which made this potential deal attractive.
"Cole will add size and skill to our young core and be a big part of the immediate and future of the Oil Kings program. We would like welcome the entire Miller family to the organization"
Miller has been added to the Oil Kings active roster.
