Hay of Kamloops impresses at Oil Kings camp, signs standard deal
KAMLOOPS — Kolby Hay feels like he had a good camp with Edmonton Oil Kings, and the 15-year-old goaltender from Kamloops has been rewarded by signing a standard WHL contract.
“They wanted to see how I would perform over main camp and I think I put on a pretty good show,” said Hay, who will be travelling back home on Wednesday.
Hay was drafted by the Oil Kings in the third round, 62nd overall. He will return to the Yale Hockey Academy in Abbotsford with its Midget Prep team. Last season with the Bantam Prep team, he backstopped the team to a Canadian bantam championship.
Hay will be eligible to play five games with Edmonton this season, but hopes to be a factor at training camp next year.
