Press Release
The Oakville Blades will hit the ice on Monday August 16th 2011 at 4:00 PM to open their 2011 training camp at the Sixteen Mile Sports Complex (SMSC) in Oakville, ON.
The team expects to return up to 14 players from their 2010-2011 squad, including 5 of their top 10 scorers from last year. Those players provided more than half the Blades offence last year - 116 of the team's 212 goals, 21 of 36 PP goals and 19 of 30 game-winning goals. Kyle Blaney (Burlington, ON) and Tyler Karius (Oakville, ON) both had 20-goal seasons while Stefan Thompson (Waterloo, ON) had 12 in 28 games after coming over from Cobourg in a mid-season trade.
1993-born Braedan Russell (Oakville, ON) and 1992-born Brandon Denham (Milton, ON) chipped in with 37-point and 32-point seasons, respectively.
In addition, the team expects back 4 of the top 6 D from 2010-2011 and also goaltender James Prigione (Guelph, ON) who was 9-1-0-0 last year with a 2.41 GAA and 0.914 SV%.
