The Edmonton Oil Kings took a late round flier on AJHL tough guy Darren Kramer of the Grande Prairie Storm in the WHL's bantam draft. Yes it's a draft of guys born in '94 but the Oil Kings used their last pick of the draft on the '91 born Peace River native with an eye towards next year instead of adding just another prospect.
Oil Kings General Manager Bob Green had a chance to watch Kramer in game 2 of the Doyle Cup in Vernon and liked what he saw from the Storm's penalty minute leader.

Mark Letestu and the rest of his WBS Penguins kick off their second round AHL playoff series in Hersey tomorrow night.
Letestu had 4 assists in 5 games in the first round.
Jon Kalinski had a goal and two assists in four games but is wasn't enough as his Phantoms were swept out of the first round. Good to see Kalinski doing so well after such a devastating leg injury earlier in the year knocked him out of the Flyers lineup.

I've been told we aren't allowed to call it Swine Flu anymore because it is upsetting the pig farmers in Canada. My news director hasn't said anything about not calling it 'choking' anymore because it might upset Sharks fans.

what round did Bob take kramer?according to web site ,this is edmonton's last pick
206 Edmonton Anthony Borri March 20, 1994 LW Coquitlam, B.C.
They took Borri at 206 but then traded for Prince Albert's 10th round pick which was 207 and took Krammer. The Oil Kings then passed in round 11 where they would of had pick 228.
