Jalen Luypen, Carson Golder, and the Edmonton Oil Kings are your 2022 Western Hockey League Champions, and have punched their ticket to Saint John, NB for the 2022 Memorial Cup!
The Oil Kings went 16-3 en route to their third WHL championship in franchise history.
Carson Golder was the definition of a player putting team first. After switching positions from defence to forward because of injuries to Oil Kings players, Golder tallied 6 points in 6 GP during the WHL Championship Series as a winger.
Chicago Blackhawks prospect Luypen had 9 points (4G, 5A) in 19 GP during the Championship run.
Congratulations! So well deserved and can’t wait to see how it unfolds for you two in New Brunswick at the 2022 Memorial Cup.
