Third Oiler Honored

Tulsa Oilers defenseman Derek Eastman has been named to the Central Hockey League’s All-CHL team in balloting conducted among league coaches, and media personnel.

Eastman, 5-foot-10, 190 pounds from St. Paul, MN is the third leading scorer among CHL defensemen. He has eight goals and 36 assists for 44 points. Eastman is also second in the league in shorthanded assists.
“Derek has been rock solid for us all year long” Oiler coach Bruce Ramsay said. “He’s been great in every situation, power play, penalty kill, late in games, whenever we have needed him, he has come through”
Eastman is the third Oiler to be honored this postseason. Trainer Stuart Nichols was named CHL Trainer of the Year, and defenseman Sean Erickson was named to the CHL all-Rookie team.
Joining Eastman on the All-CHL team are forwards Kevin Ulanski and Riley Nelson of the Colorado Eagles; Les Reaney of the Rapid City Rush; defenseman Aaron Schneekloth of Colorado; and goaltender Joel Martin of the Odessa Jackalopes.
The Oilers conclude their season with three road games this week, playing at Bossier-Shreveport Thursday and a pair of games at Mississippi Friday and Saturday. All three games start at 7:05 p.m and can be heard via the internet at www.tulsaoilers.com and viewed at CHL TV.
