<br /><br />The Oil Kings are set to face the Portland Winterhawks tonight in Game 1 of the WHL's Championship Series. I figured it was a good occasion to blow the dust of the blog and share some behind the scenes shots of the morning skate. <br /><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Oil Kings hit the road for the first time this season as they face the Wheat Kings in Brandon. Edmonton was beaten last time out, falling 5-3 to the Hurricanes. Lethbridge was trailing 2-1 in the third before scoring three goals in 42 seconds to snap a ten game losing streak at Rexall Place. Mitch Moroz led the way with a pair of goals for the Kings, while Henrik Samuelsson and Aaron Irving had a pair of helpers. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Curtis Lazar will be in the lineup for the first time tonight after he was sent back by the Ottawa Senators. Edmonton will not have Reid Petryk tonight. Petryk, acquired yesterday, from the Everett Silvertips will meet the team tomorrow in Saskatoon.</span><br />

The Oil Kings season resumes tonight with their first look at the Regina Pats. Last time out, Edmonton scored a very impressive 7-3 win over the rival Calgary Hitmen. Henrik Samuelsson lead the way with four points, Cody Corbett had a pair of goals and five Oil Kings had multi-point efforts. Their power play clicked, going 5/10 in the game, and at times the team's speed seemed too much for Calgary to handle. The Oil Kings unveiled their new third jersey to much fanfare in an eye catching pregame ceremony. Tonight the Kings will wear their traditional red uniforms.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Edmonton Oil Kings drop the puck on the 2013-14 season tonight when they welcome the rival Calgary Hitmen to Rexall Place. Edmonton wrapped up the preseason with a record of 1-4 after dropping a 7-5 decision to Red Deer last week. The Oil Kings go into action tonight looking for their franchise's 200th regular season win. Expect an elongated pregame tonight, as the team will unveil their new black third uniforms, as well as commemorate last season's Eastern Conference title.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New Look:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Along with the new silks, the Oil Kings will have a new look lineup tonight as many players have moved on after last year. Gone are last season's twenty year olds; TJ Foster, Trevor Cheek, and Dylan Wruck, also moving on are top scorer Michael St. Croix, Stephane Legault, Keegan Lowe, David Musil, Martin Gernat, Travis Ewanyk, and Laurent Brossoit. Griffin Reinhart is still with the New York Islanders, while Curtis Lazar is still up with the Ottawa Senators.</span><br />

The Edmonton Oil Kings wrapped up their main camp with the annual Red/White Game on Wednesday night in Fort Saskatchewan. Team Red downed Team White 4-2 in a tightly contested affair. Curtis Lazar was a force as usual for Team White, scoring the game winner and wowing fans with rushes, and big hits. Logan Ferguson, Cody Corbett, and Cole Benson into an empty net tallied for White, meanwhile Branden Klatt and Brandon Baddock scored for Red as they mounted a furious third period comeback.<br />
<br />
One of the most interesting battles in camp is for the backup goaltender position behind returning netminder Tristan Jarry. Jarry did not play in the Red/White game, allowing the four remaining goalies to battle it out. Patrick Dea, the Oil Kings first round Bantam pick in 2012, is an option, but he is only 16 years old. He has shown huge strides in his game but did allow three goals in the intrasquad game. <br />
<br />
Tyler Santos, his teammate on Team Red, was rock solid in his 30 minutes of action, stopping all 25 shots he faced. Santos is 19 and played in Bonnyville of the AJHL last year. He has not played a regular season WHL game, but does not have NCAA eligibility due to his time with the Prince George Cougars.<br />
<br />
Austin Shaw, a big goalie out of Highlands Ranch, Colorado, has been very solid at camp as well. The 17 year old was a free agent invite to last year's camp and as since played himself into the discussion as a possible option behind Jarry.<br />
<br />
The final goalie still in the mix is 18 year old Tanner McCorriston. He played midget AAA last season for the Knights of Columbus. McCorriston improved as camp progressed and jumped ahead of other goalies who attended. He was named the Alberta Midget Hockey League's top goaltender last season.<br />

Up front there are a few spots open from last year's Eastern Conference Championship winning team. TJ Foster, Dylan Wruk, and Trevor Cheek have graduated as 20 year olds. Michael St. Croix, and Travis Ewanyk are eligible to play pro, and Stephane Legault announced he will be attending NAIT, forgoing his 20 year old season. <br />
<br />
Expect Riley Keiser, a 20 year old acquired from Vancouver this off season to slide into the top nine on this team, he has looked impressive early at camp. Danish import Mads Eller is also a lock, he possesses a ton of speed and should help the Kings on the PK and be able to produce offensively. Lane Bauer will be on the team if they can get him signed. Nothing official to report on that front, but according to his Twitter feed it appears as though it is a done deal. Youngsters Andrew Koepp, and Brayden Brown have made a strong impression so far, and are battling the likes of Tyler Robertson or Mitch Walter, the Oil Kings second rounder in 2011, for roster spots.<br />
<br />
The blue line is where the team will see the biggest changes. Keegan Lowe, David Musil, and Marty Gernat are all likely to play professional hockey this season. There is a big question mark around Griffin Reinhart, the club's captain who did not attend camp. Instead, Reinhart was on Long Island, getting ready for Islanders camp. Look for Ben Carroll, and Aaron Irving to make the club, joining incumbents Dysin Mayo, Ashton Sautner, Cody Corbett, and Stephen Shmoorkoff. My guess is the Kings will carry eight defensemen including Reinhart, so there is one spot open for a youngster to make the club. I'd look at guys like Jesse Mills, Cole Josefchak, or Chance Patterson to be the front runners for that spot.<br />

The wide eyed players were divided into two groups and were put through both on and off ice workouts over the weekend. Players endured power skating sessions, dry land testing, and showed their stuff in a full ice four on four scrimmage to wrap up the weekend. There were a lot of smiles, nerves and excitement in the rink, as the youngsters tried to make a good first impression.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The players attending were bantam draft picks from the last two drafts and a few free agent invites. It is a good chance for the players to see what it means to be an Oil King as they are introduced to the staff, tour the facilities and meet potential teammates. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2012 draft picks Andrew Koep, Colton Kehler, Patrick Dea, Jesse Mills and Garrett Armour were some of the more recognizable names, and they did not disappoint. There will be an opportunity for several of the 16 year prospects to crack the roster at main camp in September.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Meanwhile several of the 2013 picks showed strong including Davis Koch, Kyle Yewchuk and Alex Rotundo. The prospects will have access to video of the camp, with lessons to work on throughout the summer as they prepare to return for Rookie Camp in August.</div>
<div>

<div>
This and That</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
-Brett Pollock was one of the current Oil Kings helping during the camp. He sported a helmet with the number 39 on it, indicating a change from 20 which he wore last year.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
-Expect a couple other number changes from returning players when camp opens in September.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
-Goaltender Tristan Jarry and forward Curtis Lazar spent the weekend in Toronto at the NHL Draft Combine. Lazar had 26 interviews with NHL team managers.</div>

Henrik Samuelsson and Dylan Wruck paced the Kings early, but the Raiders chipped away and gained momentum in front of a sold out barn at the Art Hauser Centre. PA scored twice in the thrid and goaltender Luke Siemens was sensational to seal the victory. Meanwhile the Broncos hosted the Seattle Thunderbirds last night coming from behind to win the game 4-3. Adam Lowery lead the way with a goal and two helpers, and former T-Bird Chance Lund scored the winner shorthanded in the third.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last Year</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Edmonton swept the four game series last season between the two clubs. The Broncos were in the playoff mix for most of the season before finishing 10th in the WHL's Eastern Conference. Swift won 27 games last year, when one of their best players, Adam Lowery, only played 36 games due to injury.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Opposition: The Broncos are sitting at .500 through their first 19 games. They look to be in a similar situation as last year, and will likely be in the mix for a playoff spot in the East. They recently acquired Brent Benson from Saskatoon to add to their offensive depth. GM/Head Coach Mark Lamb has built a nice core of defencemen led by Devils draftee Reece Scarlett and draft eligible Dillon Heatherington.</span></div>

Last game out the Kings downed Musil and the Giants 5-1 on Sunday. TJ Foster, Travis Ewanyk, Mitch Moroz, Edgars Kulda and Michael St. Croix tallied for the Kings, who have won four straight. Tristan Jarry made 29 saves to earn his third win of the season. The Raiders have won back to back games and lead the Eastern Conference with 22 points coming into action tonight. They are coming off a 2-1 shootout win over Swift Current on Tuesday.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tonight it's a rematch of last year's Eastern Conference Final as the Oil Kings host the Moose Jaw Warriors. The Kings have been treading water as of late, losing three straight, but picking up points in four of their last five outings. On Wednesday night, the Kings fell 5-4 in a shootout to the Kamloops Blazers in a very entertaining game at Rexall Place. Edmonton fought back and took their first lead of the hockey game with 1:59 to go in regulation on a Henrik Samuelsson power play goal, only to see the WHL's leading scorer, JC Lipon score a shorthanded goal 25 seconds later to tie it. Colin Smith and Brendan Ranford, both Edmonton products, sealed it in the shootout. The Warriors are coming off a 5-2 home win over the Everett Silvertips on Tuesday night. They fell behind 2-0 early in the second, then scored five straight goals to win going away. Torrin White led the way with a pair of goals and four points.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last Year: The Oil Kings were 3-0-0-1 against the Warriors last season. Moose Jaw won the East Division with 98 points and finished second behind Edmonton in the Eastern Conference. The Warriors got by Regina and Medicine Hat in the playoffs before bowing out in five games to the Kings. They did end Edmonton's 22 game win streak in game four of the conference final.</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> <br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Opposition: The Warriors are off to a decent start. The team graduated a lot of offense in the off season. No longer in Moose Jaw are Quinton Howden, Cody Beach, Kenton Miller, and Cam Braes up front, and Dylan McIlrath and Dallas Ehrhardt on the back end. Sam Fioretti is off to a great start to the year with 10 goals in 10 games, and 16 year old Brayden Point will be a leader offensively. They do return a solid defence core which includes Morgan Rielly, Joel Edmundson, Kendall McFaull, and Travis Brown.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Oil Kings face a stiff test tonight at Rexall Place as the WHL leading Kamloops Blazers make their first visit this season. Edmonton is coming off their first shutout loss since March 12, 2011. MacKenzie Skapski and the Kootenay Ice snapped their seven game regular season losing streak to the Kings with a 1-0 victory on Sunday night in Cranbrook. The Oil Kings have dropped back to back games coming into tonight when they play the last remaining team that is yet to lose in regulation. Last night in Red Deer the Blazers shut out the Rebels 4-0. Colin Smith led the way with a goal and a pair of helpers, while Tim Bozon scored twice. Taran Kozun made 32 saves to record his first career WHL shutout.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last Year: The Blazers took both games the teams played last year. Both were at the Interior Savings Centre in the 'Loops. Kamloops won 47 games last season on their way to a BC Division Championship. After sweeping the Royals in the first round of the playoffs, they lost a hard fought seven game series to Portland, the eventual Western Conference Champions.</span><br />

<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Opposition: Like mentioned the Blazers are off to a fantastic start with nine wins in their first ten games. They feature the top two scores in the WHL with JC Lipon (9-15-24) and Edmonton product Colin Smith (7-14-21). Those two usually play with Montreal Canadiens pick Tim Bozon on one line while all three of their twenty year olds (Brendan Ranford, Jordan DePape, and Dylan Willick) make up a lethal top six. The defence core is a well balanced unit that includes former Oil King Marek Hrbas. In goal they are anchored by 19 year old Cole Cheveldave and his impressive 1.65 GAA. The Blazers lead the WHL in goals for (45) and have the fewest goals against (19).</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the third time this season the Oil Kings and Hitmen face off tonight in the junior version of the 'Battle of Alberta'. The Hitmen have taken both previous matchups so far this season. Edmonton is coming off a hard earned victory in Medicine Hat 4-2 over the Tigers. They led 4-0 before penalty trouble finally caught up with them, allowing the Tigers to get on the board. Brett Pollock scored his first WHL goal, Dylan Wruck, Henrik Samuelsson, and Griffin Reinhart tallied for Edmonton. Cole Benson picked up his first two WHL assists as well. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Meanwhile Calgary hasn't played since last Sunday's 6-5 overtime win over Edmonton at the Saddledome.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Season Series: Calgary is undefeated against the Oil Kings this year winning 4-1 at Rexall Place early in the year and knocking off the Kings 6-5 in overtime in Cowtown. The teams meet six times this season, all before the Christmas break. They face each other three more times in December to round out the first half of the year.</span></div>

The Giants released 20 year old John Neibrandt to make room for Kessey.

<span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Oil Kings wrap up a two game road trip tonight in Medicine Hat. Edmonton is coming off a 6-5 overtime loss in Calgary on Sunday afternoon. The Oil Kings, lead by TJ Foster's franchise single game record four goals, traded the lead back and forth with the Hitmen all afternoon. A Michael St. Croix power play goal late would force overtime before Calgary's Spencer Humphries tallied a PP goal of his own to send the home side to victory. Edmonton has lost three of their last four games, but have points in back to back games after beating the Saskatoon Blades on Saturday night. Medicine Hat has lost back to back games, 6-1 in Vancouver and 4-1 at Kamloops, wrapping up a three game western swing where they netted a single point. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last Year: The Oil Kings went 4-1-0-1 against the Tigers. After dropping 14 straight games at the Medicine Hat Arena, the Oil Kings snapped their goose egg with a 6-2 win on January 12. They have now won back to back games in the Gas City. The Tigers finished fourth in the Eastern Conference last season. They swept the Blades in the first round of the playoffs before losing in four straight to the Moose Jaw Warriors.</span><div style="margin: 0px;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Opposition: It is a rebuilding year in Medicine Hat. They have graduated players like Emerson Etem, Tyler Bunz, James Bettauer, Matt Konan, Cole Grbavac, and Patrik Parkkonen. They are also without twenty year olds Alex Therieau (offseason hip surgery) and Kale Kessey (suspension/AHL camp). Undoubtedly their offense will be led by Hunter Shinkaruk, a 49 goal scorer last season who is in his draft year. They also have newcomer Miles Koules (son of Saw movie maker Oren) to help out offensively. </span></div>

The Oil Kings currently have two (Wruck, Foster) the Tigers have four (Theriau, Kessey, Pearce, Ryckman). Due to Theriau's injury and Kessey being in the AHL, the Tigers will receive an extension on their deadline. The Saskatoon Blades have acquired Rebels captain Adam Kambeitz for Christian Stockl and a 2014 third round bantam pick. To make room the Blades have waived twenty year old Connor Cox on waivers. Tonight is one of five games on the WHL schedule. It is the first of six meetings between the two clubs this season. Pregame at 6:55, puck drop at 7:00 on the Team 1260.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Oil Kings look to snap their two game losing skid tonight against Saskatoon, a team that has also lost back to back games. The Kings are coming off a pair of 4-1 losses, at the hands of the Hitmen and Raiders. TJ Foster is the only Oil King that has been able to find the back of the net over the last 120 minutes as well, scoring both Edmonton markers. It is the first time since January of 2011 that the Oil Kings have dropped two straight home games. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The Blades might be exactly what the Oil Kings need right now, as they are struggling having lost 10-1 last night at the hands of the Swift Current Broncos. The Blades, the Memorial Cup host team, are off to an uneven start with just a pair of victories both coming after regulation. Both teams will be looking to get back on track in what should be a physical tilt tonight.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last Year: The Oil Kings were 3-1 last year against the Blades. Their lone loss was earlier in the season in Toon Town. The Blades were fifth in the East last year posting 40 wins. The playoffs were a disappointment though, with the Tigers sweeping the Blades in the first round.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Opposition: The Blades started their preparations for the Memorial Cup during the offseason bringing in Shane McColgan from Kelowna, and twenty year old Brendan Walker from Brandon. The team has named Walker as their new captain, taking over from Avalanche first round pick Duncan Siemens. Siemens remains on the team and leads a steady defence core that includes a pair of Montreal picks in Dalton Thrower and Darren Dietz. In goal is Russian World Junior representative Andrey Makarov.</span></div>

Their last game, Friday at Rexall was a 4-1 loss at the hands of the Calgary Hitmen. It was the Kings first loss of the season and snapped the team's 14 game regular season winning streak. TJ Foster tallied the lone goal for Edmonton. The Raiders are coming off a 5-4 shoot out win over the Red Deer Rebels on Tuesday in PA. They have lost just once this season as well, on opening night in a shoot out to Saskatoon. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last Year: The Oil Kings were 4-0 last season against the Raiders, and have controlled the all-time season series as well, with a 14-3-1-2 record. The Kings outscored the Raiders 22-9 in 2011-12. Prince Albert finished last overall in the WHL last season posting 21 wins and 48 points. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Opposition: The Raiders are showing to be a much improved squad so far in the young WHL season. Mark McNeill, the 2011 first round pick of the Blackhawks, is leading the way with six points in the first four games. The Raiders have added some depth to their lineup with aquisitions like Dakota Conroy, Leon Draisaitl, Shayne Gwinner and goalie Luke Siemens. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The junior hockey version of the 'Battle of Alberta' continues tonight at Rexall Place as the Oil Kings meet the Hitmen for the first time this season. Both teams come into tonight's tilt with unblemished records. Edmonton is coming of a dominating 3-0 win in Lethbridge where they outshot the Hurricanes 60-20. Curtis Lazar, TJ Foster and Henrik Samuelsson scored for the Kings while Tristan Jarry recorded his first WHL shutout. Zane Jones, with a two goal effort, led the Hitmen to a 5-1 win over Kootenay on Tuesday night.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last Year: The Oil Kings were 5-1 last season against the Hitmen. Calgary surged up the standings finishing 3rd in the Eastern Conference at season's end. Their season ended at the hand of the Brandon Wheat Kings in the first round of the playoffs.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Opposition: The Hitmen figure to be one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. Two seasons ago the they finished last overall in the WHL, and as earlier mentioned they weren't in the rebuilding cycle for long. Calgary adds Jake Virtanen, the first overall pick in the 2011 Bantam Draft, to their lineup full time this year. They are without Victor Rask at the moment as he is in training camp with the Charlotte Checkers, and is eligible to spend the season in the AHL. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last Year: The Oil Kings were 5-1 last season against the Hurricanes. Their only loss was early in the season at the Enmax Centre. That loss signaled a changing point in the year for Edmonton as they became a more consistent team after that game, ripping off eleven straight victories heading into the Christmas break.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Opposition: The 'Canes continue to be a rebuilding team this year with nine seventeen year olds and three sixteen year olds on their roster. Last year the club won 29 games, finishing 11th in the WHL's Eastern Conference. Expect a competitive club that could surprise some teams this year. Once again they went out and brought in a veteran twenty year old goalie to be the back bone of the team. Last season it was Damien Ketlo, this year it is former Tri-City American Ty Rimmer.</span><br />

Portland's Nic Petan has been named this week's WHL Player of the Week. The Rebels have acquired 20 year old defenceman Brandon Underwood from the Regina Pats in exchange for a 4th round bantam pick in the 2013 draft. Earlier in the week the Rebels acquired 18 year old Matt Bellerive from Vancouver for a 3rd round pick in 2014. The Giants have picked up 20 year old Trevor Cheek from Calgary in exchange for 4th and 5th round bantam picks. Former Oil King defenceman Ryan Dech has committed to the University of Regina where he will suit up for the Cougars in the CIS. Tonight is the first of six meetings between the Oil Kings and Hurricanes. Pregame show at 6:55, puck drop at 7:05 on the Team 1260.</span></div>

The Kings return 18 players from last year and on paper are poised for another strong run at a Memorial Cup appearance in Saskatoon this season. With the recent trading of Tristan Sieben to the Vancouver Giants and the release of veteran defender Ryan Dech, the roster now sits at a manageable 24 players.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Heading into the year the team named Griffin Reinhart their new captain, taking the reins from Mark Pysyk, who is expected to patrol the blue line for the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League. TJ Foster, Michael St. Croix, Keegan Lowe, Travis Ewanyk and Curtis Lazar will be alternates. The team also added former Oiler Sean Brown to the coaching staff alongside head coach Derek Laxdal, and newly minted Associate Coach Steve Hamilton.<br />
<br />

#13 Brandon Baddock- The 17 year old forward joins the team after spending last season with the Lloydminster Bobcats of the AJHL. Baddock, Edmonton's 7th round pick in the 2010 bantam draft adds size to the forward unit, and is expected to play a physical game for the Kings. He posted a pair of goals and three points along with 91 PIMS last season.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKaJXjcOUPMPzrPNze7v8CvC28NQtXKkp8Hd2jF63TdYFzWh1K3VNB5FjyNdHjDha75prehMUcSiMspSFBoomKmvnl92e_2hUA1m1rGjkEQAf15S-zlct5e2HICsxs0tsNfsEVPwc0_26I/s1600/Berto+vs+RDR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hea="true" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKaJXjcOUPMPzrPNze7v8CvC28NQtXKkp8Hd2jF63TdYFzWh1K3VNB5FjyNdHjDha75prehMUcSiMspSFBoomKmvnl92e_2hUA1m1rGjkEQAf15S-zlct5e2HICsxs0tsNfsEVPwc0_26I/s200/Berto+vs+RDR.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
#17 Luke Bertolucci- Another forward who spent last season in Junior A. Bertolucci was a member of the Trail Smoke Eaters of the BCHL last season, registering 18 points in 47 games as a 16 year old. Smaller than Baddock, look for Bertolucci to play an energy role and be involved with the Kings PK unit.<br />
<br />

#20 Brett Pollock- The lone 16 year old forward to crack the opening day roster, Pollock boasts both size (listed at 6'2) and skill. He registered eight goals and 25 points in Midget AAA last season playing in Sherwood Park.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnXJgx42K2whN79EhKbYQWvWX-SuBUT7zJ7ajBzay09KzAAejln2Y3Zsdp7BnCpxZii48OlAToOWETsCulGZkii0sFKmJ_RP00MpVoIISlwU3_Pm8u95I9fKAWhyphenhyphenHzg2mzwk7GZ_EGGH-5/s1600/kulda+vs+sc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnXJgx42K2whN79EhKbYQWvWX-SuBUT7zJ7ajBzay09KzAAejln2Y3Zsdp7BnCpxZii48OlAToOWETsCulGZkii0sFKmJ_RP00MpVoIISlwU3_Pm8u95I9fKAWhyphenhyphenHzg2mzwk7GZ_EGGH-5/s200/kulda+vs+sc.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
#23 Edgars Kulda- The Oil Kings had so much success with their last Latvian import (Kritians Pelss) they re visited Riga in the import draft and called Kulda's name. He is the younger brother of former Winnipeg Jet/Atlanta Thrasher Arturs. I don't think Kulda will be able to match the speed of Pelss, but look for him to play a similar style game and be involved offensively. He picked up a pair of goals in four preseason outings.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVaU4T19bwCKWadaKLbmNVsHNDH-cm1W5OpRGIqVMbsFXYLAG8zpuqW4K6pTFLq7yIlBlG54bEEygqFSNrjWVUvobw-zsSWiLYpF8WgW1-rqxjM4rMThzyaB_KqMWSJbSaACNsgsDe8NtW/s1600/Schmoorkoff4303.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVaU4T19bwCKWadaKLbmNVsHNDH-cm1W5OpRGIqVMbsFXYLAG8zpuqW4K6pTFLq7yIlBlG54bEEygqFSNrjWVUvobw-zsSWiLYpF8WgW1-rqxjM4rMThzyaB_KqMWSJbSaACNsgsDe8NtW/s200/Schmoorkoff4303.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
#26 Stephen Shmoorkoff- Maybe the biggest surprise on the opening day roster, Shmoorkoff impressed throughout training camp and preseason and earned a spot on the blue line with the Kings. He has shown the ability to calmly move the puck, jump into the play and stand up for his teammates. He (like Kulda) is a late '94 birthday making this his draft year. Last year he suited up for the AJHL's Sherwood Park Crusaders posting five points and 144 PIMS.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

#37 Dysin Mayo- The smooth skating defenceman has already been compared to a young Mark Pysyk. He is the lone right handed defender on the Oil Kings roster heading into the season. The 16 year old has been very impressive during the preseason including scoring the overtime winner in the final game against Red Deer.<br />

#3 Mark Pysyk- He was the face of this franchise for the first five years of their existence. Pysyk was this club's first bantam pick, first modern era King to be drafted in the first round of the NHL Draft, and first to suit up for Canada at the World Junior Hockey Championship. The list could go on and on, as the Captain will leave a large hole for this club to fill both on and off the ice.<br />

#17 Jordan Peddle- Peddle made an immediate impact with the Kings after he was acquired in an early season deal with Swift Current. A heart and soul type player he won a lot of battles in Edmonton and was a key contributor in the team's playoff run. Peddle is planning on joining the University of Saskatchewan Huskies of the CIS this season.<br />

#20 Rhett Rachinski- Another heart and soul Oil King heading to the CIS is former captain Rhett Rachinski. The Edmonton product played his entire WHL career with the home town club, capping his junior career with a Championship. Rachinski is staying in Edmonton joining former teammates Jordan Hickmott and Drew Nichol at the University of Alberta. He has scored the two of the biggest goals in Oil Kings history, in Prince Albert in overtime of the tie breaker game to earn the Kings their first playoff spot in 2008, and scored the OT winner in Portland in game 4 of the Championship series this past season.<br />

#22 Ryan Dech- The Winnipeg product was released from the club at the end of the preseason, victim of a numbers game on the back end. Dech will be known as a great teammate during his time with the Kings, willing to do whatever it took to win. No official word as of now where Dech plans to suit up this season.<br />

#23 Tyler Maxwell- The 20 year old sniper paid huge dividends for the Oil Kings after being acquired from the Everett Silvertips in December of 2011. He slid into the Kings top line alongside Mike St Croix and Dylan Wruck and the team immediately clicked, running off 11 straight wins before the Christmas break. He is playing pro hockey is Austria with Red Bull.<br />

#25 Tristan Sieben- The local product was dealt to the Vancouver Giants for 2014 Bantam Draft Pick after the final exhibition game. As a 17 year old rookie last season Sieben showed flashes that should make him an everyday WHL'er on the West Coast. He has the potential to play an energy role and should have a larger role with the Giants this season.<br />

#26 Kristians Pelss- The Latvian speedster signed his NHL Entry Level Contract with the Edmonton Oilers during the playoffs last season. He will likely be playing in either or Stockton of the ECHL or with Oklahoma City in the AHL. The Kings will miss the speed that Pelss brought to the lineup, along with professional level shot.<br />
<br />
The Kings open up at home on Thursday in a rematch of the first round of last year's playoffs with the Kootenay Ice. They will raise their Championship banner and celebrate once more before the new season begins. Faceoff is scheduled for around 7:20, and will be live on the Team 1260 at 6:45. Stay tuned to the Team 1260 on Saturdays throughout the WHL Season as well for Oil Kings Weekly which airs at 5pm.<br />

The Oil Kings wrap up their regular season tonight in Red Deer against the Rebels. Edmonton is red hot winning their past ten games and lead the WHL's overall standings by one point over the Tri-City Americans. Last night the Kings knocked off the Medicine Hat Tigers 4-2. Laurent Brossoit was the game's first star stopping 36 of 38 Tiger shots. Mark Pysyk, Henrik Samuelsson, Curtis Lazar and Michael St. Croix had goals.<br />
<br />
Red Deer has won their last two outings, beating Medicine Hat and Lethbridge in tight affairs. The Rebels beat the Hurricanes last night 3-2 despite only having 15 healthy skaters. Cody Thiel, Charles Inglis and Adam Kambeitz tallied for the Rebels, Bolton Pouliot stopped 34 of 36 shots to earn the victory.<br />

Season Series: After losing the first two matchups this season in overtime and a shoot-out, the Oil Kings have beaten the Rebels three straight times. Two of those games were last week in a back to back series. The second game got out of control with the teams combining for 156 penalty minutes. <br />
<br />
Up Next: The Kings await results from other action to learn who they will face in the first round of the playoffs. As of now they could play Regina, Kootenay or Brandon. The standings are as follows<br />
<br />
1 *xy Edmonton Oil Kings 105 points<br />
2 *x Moose Jaw Warriors 96<br />
3 x Calgary Hitmen 89<br />
4 x Medicine Hat Tigers 89<br />
5 x Saskatoon Blades 83<br />
6 x Regina Pats 82<br />
7 x Kootenay Ice 82<br />
8 x Brandon Wheat Kings 81<br />
<br />
Red Deer, meanwhile wraps up their season tonight as they will finish 9th in the East. Twenty year old Devan Dubyk will play his final WHL game tonight, as will Alex Petrovic who will join the San Antonio Rampage of the American Hockey League for their playoff push. Petrovic, 19, is a second round pick of the Rampage's parent club, the Florida Panthers.<br />
<br />
Out of Town: The Oil Kings will be watching the out of town scoreboard for a few scores around the league. Regina is in Brandon, and Kootenay plays in Calgary in the Eastern Conference. Also they could be waiting on the outcome of Spokane in Tri-City. An Edmonton victory would clinch the regular season pennant in the WHL, but if Red Deer wins tonight, an American loss would also clinch the top spot for the Kings.<br />
