IIRC, many years ago, the earlier version of the Oil Kings used to play exhibition games against the U of A Golden Bears. Despite the presence of potential future NHLers on the Jr A Oil Kings, they usually lost to the university team - better team play, older (smarter?) players. I don't think Canadian college hockey was (is?) as good as NCAA, so it would be interesting to see how today's Jr A teams would fare against NCAA teams.
