EDMONTON, AB - Forward Noah Philp, who signed a one-year contract with the Oilers in April 2022 and played for the American Hockey League's Bakersfield Condors last season, released the following statement on Wednesday:

I want to start off by thanking the Edmonton Oilers and Bakersfield Condors. The treatment of players and overall atmosphere they've created is amazing. I have nothing but respect for everyone within both organizations and I'll always be grateful for the opportunity I received.

I'm at a time in my life where I want to focus on things outside the realm of hockey. I'm doing well and wish all the best to the players, coaches and staff in Bakersfield and in Edmonton.

The 24-year-old University of Alberta Golden Bears product scored 19 goals and 18 assists for 37 points in 70 games during the 2022-23 campaign with the Condors.
