According to the Alberta Junior Hockey League website, the Okotoks Oilers have advanced to the South Division Final of the Alberta Junior Hockey League playoffs.

On Tuesday night at the Edgeworth Centre in Camrose, John Edwardh of Calgary scored the game winning goal with 10:50 remaining in the third period on the power play to give the Oilers a 2-1 victory and a 4-0 win in the best out of seven series in the Alberta Junior Hockey League's South Division semi-final.
