Canada announced its Olympic team on Thursday and four former Oilers were on the list:
Gilbert Brule played for the team from 2008 through 2011. The best season in his NHL career was in 2009-10 with the Oilers when he had 17 goals and 38 points in 65 games.
Rob Klinkhammer suited up for the club from 2014 through 2016. He also played with the Bakersfield Condors in 2015-16 and had 14 goals and 24 points in 27 games.
Derek Roy played 46 games for the Oilers in 2014-15 and had 11 goals and 22 points.
Ben Scrivens played for the Oilers in the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons with his most notable achievement being a 59-save shutout on January 30, 2014 which still stands as an NHL record.
Chris Kelly, who played with the Oilers in the pre-season earlier this year and skated with the team for several months after that, was also named to the team.
