Junior Oilers Players Named “October Players of the Month” by Hockey Alberta

Congratulations to the following players who have been honored as Hockey Alberta's AEHL and AFHL "Players of the Month" for October 2024:

AEHL U18 AAA Player of the Month:

• Ethan Berard (Edm Jr. Oilers Blue – G) (4GP, 1.75 GAA, .933 GAA)
  In what is one of the most competitive divisions in the province, there are no easy nights to be a U18 AAA goaltender, yet Ethan Berard has risen to the occasion in all four starts in October, posting a perfect 4-0-0 record. His play has been the backbone of the Oilers Blue hot start, establishing them as the #2 team in the North Division. Berard will look to maintain his #1 position in GAA in U18 AAA through a tough November schedule.

AFHL U18 AAA Player of the Month:

• Ciara Lang (Edmonton Jr. Oilers White – D) (3G, 2A, 5P, 4GP)
  The 2024-25 season has already brought with a number of milestones for smooth-skating defender Ciara Lang. In addition to averaging more than a point per game, the second year Oilers player competed at Hockey Canada’s Women’s Under-18 Team Selection Camp in early August, then reported for Provincial Duty as part of Team Alberta at the U18 Women’s National Championships in New Brunswick. Lang will play a key role in the Jr. Oilers White hopes to repeat as AFHL and Pacific Regional Champions, and earn another bid to the Esso Cup.
