Big 2 weeks across the #OilKings pipeline: WHL Cup wrapped, AJHL stars heating up, and a few prospects rewriting their scouting reports.

The latest #RoilReserves prospect watch has it all ➡️ shotgunsportsnetwork.ca/roil-reserve...

No tricks, just two treats for the #OilKings on this Halloween Eve👻

From shootout heroics in Lethbridge to a six-goal storm in Spokane, October 30th has brought plenty of late-month chills.

Let’s recollect: shotgunsportsnetwork.ca/roil-recolle...

Roil Briefing - Looking for a Win in The Windy City When most people think of “The Windy City,” they are probably going to think of Chicago, but don’t be fooled into thinking that’s the only windy city there is. Lethbridge has earned its team name as the Hurricanes due to the significant winds that blow through the Southern Alberta city. Tonight, our very own Oil Kings will blow through town looking to put a stop to a losing skid that has seen them drop 4 in a row.

The #OilKings are in the other Windy City tonight — blowing into Lethbridge looking to snap a 4-game skid that’s been anything but lopsided.
With one bounce, this team could turn the tide. Can they shake the storm? 🌬️

The winds in Lethbridge might be unpredictable — but so are #OilKings results on this day.

Big saves, bigger comebacks, and one perfect PK.
