One of the fine advertisers here at Kuklas’ Korner, Budwiser Canada, not only helps to ensure that the lights are on here at KK 24 hours a day but is also running a Playoff Payoff contest that will allow you the chance to win hockey tickets for life (2 regular season tickets for 20 games per year for 50 years). The rules and entry are simple and there is no purchase necessary but you must be a resident of Canada to play, sorry my American friends.

Seeing Through the Issues; Visors Should Be Discussed Again And Now

There are many safety devices in our modern age that can feel a little inconvenient at times. In fact, I know a few professional drivers who refuse to wear seatbelts. Yes, in 2011. They have had multiple tickets, but that doesn’t faze them.

When helmets came to be a rule in the NHL there was some hesitation and some that weren’t on board with the idea but eventually everyone had to adapt. There have been other safety measures that have been brought in, but for some reason, visors have yet to be made mandatory.

About Oil Patch

Lisa McRitchie is a fairly new writer, online at least, but makes up for inexperience with passion for the game of hockey and memories of Mrs. Leskiw’s English AP class; who knew they would pay off one day.

Oil Patch focuses on the Edmonton Oilers, the Edmonton Oil Kings, The Oklahoma City Barons and Team Canada Hockey with game coverage, news updates, speculation and interviews.

Although the Oilers have had a difficult past decade… or three, here at Oil Patch, the future looks bright.
