It was a good start to the New Year for the Okotoks Oilers.

They played their first 2016 games last night against the Canmore Eagles, and our boys skated away with a win of 3-2.

The Eagles had more shots on goal, but that didn't matter last night. The Oilers capitalized on their chances and got the win.

Due to his contribution of two goals on the night, Captain Connor Chambers recieved star of the game for the Oilers.

Last nights game was the first of a two game series with the Canmore Eagles. The Oilers will suit up again this afternoon, to take on the Eagles in Canmore. The puck drops at 2pm.
