Former Airdrie Xtreme, Jake Neighbours is one step closer to making the roster for the Edmonton Oil Kings after a successful Rookie Camp.

The Kings completed the camp last Friday and Neighbours explained what it was like to be there.

"It's your first experience really with the team. The other guys (who were) drafted got invited...you meet lots of new people and it's a great atmosphere for sure."

Neighbours certainly did enough to impress the coaches as he was named to the Main Camp which began yesterday (August 28th).

"They have main camp until Tuesday night," said Neighbours, "After that, whoever they want to take to pre season they can take...I just want to stay focused on now and hopefully make it to that pre season stage."

 The roster will eventually be cut down to 40 players for their Red and White game. The Oil Kings first pre season game is on Friday against Prince George.
