Edmonton, AB - Day 2 of Oil Kings Training Camp signaled the start of on-ice sessions, goalie sessions and the first games of the Rookie Tournament. After team practices in the morning all four rookie teams saw their first live game action as Team White took on Team Blue in the early game. Both teams played a solid back and forth match up with Team Blue tying the game wiith just under five minutes to play in the third off a goal by Mitchell Walter. The Blues used the momentum and pushed hard for a game winner to end the third and into OT. But a costly pinch by the team Blue defense resulted in a breakaway for 97-born Logan Ferguson. Ferguson made no mistake as he went low glove side to give Team White the 3-2 OT win. Brett Pollock and Adam Edmunds tallied the other Team White goals while Michael Bridgeman had the other goal for Team Blue.

Goal Scoring Summary - Game 1 - White wins 3-2 (OT)
1. WHITE - Brett Pollock
1. BLUE - Michael Bridgeman
2. WHITE - Adam Edmunds
2. BLUE - Mitchell Walter
3. WHITE - Logan Ferguson (OT)

Game 2 saw Team Red led by Ryan VanGenderen and Riley Simpson plow their way to a landslide win. Seven goals in the first half of the game all but put this one away for the Reds. But Team Black showed no signs of quitting as they made defensive adjustments and did not allow a second half goal. Austin Shaw and Nicholas Holben combined to tally the shutout for the Reds.

Goal Scoring Summary - Game 2 - Red wins 7-0
1. RED - Ryan VanGenderen
2. RED - Kesho Donald
3. RED - Andrew Koep
4. RED - Riley Simpson
