Coach Dan Hodge ran 28 players through a number of drills and on ice situations, and was impressed with what he saw.

"I liked the effort and the intensity," Hodge said. "These guys came to camp in shape. You can tell they were working hard over the summer. But there's a long way to go."

The Oilers will have another free practice session on Tuesday morning, starting at 8:30 at the Oilers Ice Center, located at 64^th and Mingo.

On Thursday October 9^th , the Oilers will host an exhibition game against Oklahoma City at the Oilers Ice Center. Cost for season ticket holders who purchase tickets in advance is $10.
