OILERS "SURVIVE" FIRST WEEK OF TRAINING CAMP

Junior hockey training camp is not what it used to be! Ask any one of the twenty Wooster Oilers players that just completed week one of their introduction to the 2010-2011 season.

 With two on-ice and one off -ice session, every day, last week, the boys found muscles they didn't know they had!

" Its a totally different scenario than way back when I played" commented Oilers Head Coach Hart Duddy. " We would come to camp to get in shape...now the players better be in shape. Years of coaching at this level has taught me that an unconditioned player, is a player that cannot compete. The Oilers history, since I came to Wooster, has been we score more goals in the third period than the first period. Running the football bleachers and heavy conditioning skates in camp lays the foundation to our style of play. The motto is... we will not be outworked." concluded the coach.

FORMER OILERS CAPTAIN SIGNS DEAL WITH THE AUGUSTA RIVERHAWKS PRO TEAM!

Former Oilers Captain and team leader of the 2009-2010 championship team, #20 Curtis Megginson, has inked a deal with the Augusta Riverhawks of the Southern Professional Hockey League.

 Curtis attended the Riverhawks free agent camp this weekend in Augusta Georgia, where only two, of dozens of hopefuls, were to be picked for the team, and impressed the team management enough to be offered a contract.

 " I knew I had to be at my best" stated Curtis in a telephone call on Sunday afternoon. " There were some pretty good players out there that had pro experience. I had to go full every shift. I felt good after yesterday, but I knew I needed to step it up even more, if I wanted a shot at pro hockey. I also knew my Grandpa was in my corner all weekend helping me from heaven" concluded the Oilers former captain.

 Curtis was referring to the passing of his grandfather last week in Canada as he prepared for his first professional tryout. Megginson had dedicated his tryout to his grandpa's memory.

 The entire Oilers organization is very proud of their former leader and wishes him nothing but the best of luck in his future endeavours in professional hockey!
