A combination of limited seats and high demand means that Oilers fans who planned to head to the club’s training camp next week will need a ticket to get through the door to see rookie Connor McDavid and his teammates practice.
The team announced Thursday that the Leduc Recreation Centre will be the site of its training camp from Friday, Sept. 18 to Sunday, Sept. 20. Anyone who wants to attend training camp must enter a priority draw at EdmontonOilers.com .
“Interest of Oilers fans attending the training camp on-ice sessions is expected to far exceed the capacity of the Leduc Recreation Centre,” the Oilers said in a statement.
