The Okotoks Oilers broke the AJHL record for consecutive wins in a season with their 22nd straight Thursday, March 1, in a 4-1 win over the Eagles out in Canmore.

Defenceman Carson Beers says the Oilers were gripping the sticks a little tight at the start.

"I think a lot of guys were nervous in the first period, because there was a lot of pressure on us, and we put a lot of pressure on ourselves. But it turned out we could do it in the end."

The Oilers close out the regular season this weekend at home against the Camrose Kodiaks and Canmore Eagles.
