EDMONTON, AB – The Edmonton Oilers have signed forward Owen Michaels to a one-year entry-level contract beginning in the 2025-26 season.
The 23-year-old joins the Oilers following a three-year stay at Western Michigan University, where he skated in 119 games and recorded 33 goals and 33 assists for 66 points, along with 22 penalty minutes.
The Northville, MI, native was a Hobey Baker Award nominee this past season for the Broncos after tallying 13 goals and 13 assists in 39 games while serving as team captain during Western Michigan's run to their first national championship in school history.
Potting a pair of goals, including the game-winner in the semi-final win over Denver University, Michaels added two more in the title game over Boston University and was named the NCAA Frozen Four's Most Outstanding Player in the tournament.
