A friend of mine isn't an ebug per say, but he does practice regularly with the Oilers, and has for years. He practices when one of the goalies is on a Maintenace day or injured, so that they have 2 goalies in practice. Also he is usually on the ice with the injured players, so they have a goalie for practice.
It's unfortunate it is for the Oilers, but he lives in Edmonton so there is that..
It used to be one of the Dad's that played ( I can't remember who, but when he had enough, the player was long gone from Edmonton.) They gave him a call. He had met a bunch of them when he was managing a restaurant they frequented.
