Woodbend Bantam AAA Oil Kings
A successful week for the Woodbend Bantam AAA Oil Kings starting out their week by giving back to the community. They teamed up with the Chrysler Midget AAA Oil Kings to collect food for our local food bank. It was a huge success and were happy to contribute to the food bank and Leduc.
October 19th; Saturday night the Oil Kings hosted the KC Knights of Colombus. It was a wildly exciting back and forth game; with the Woodbend Oil Kings taking the win 8-6. Ty Sauer and Tate Wararwick each scored two goals greatly aiding our team to victory!
October 20th; Sunday the Oil Kings were back on the ice facing the Maple Leaf Athletic club. Back and forth; fast paced, proving to be the trend of this weekend’s hockey.

The Woodbend Oil Kings have had a great start to the season sitting at 6-3.

Continuous hard work through the second paid off as the 2-0 lead was held going into the 3rd period. The home team came out hard hitting in the 3rd and resulted into 3 early goals and found the Techmation Oil Kings down 3-2 with 15 minutes left in the game.
