The Okotoks Oilers of the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) announced the signing of 2002-born forward Nolan Flint for the 2020-21 season. 

Flint, from Beaverlodge, Alberta, comes to the Oilers from the Grande Prairie Hockey Association where he spent the past two seasons with the U18 AAA program. The 6’2”, 185 lb. forward led the U18 Storm with 19 assists through the 2019/20 campaign, ranked second in points (29), and third in team penalty minutes (52). Flint also amassed a point-per-game through the 2019/20 playoffs (1G, 4A) – good for third overall in team playoff production. 

Oilers Head Coach / General Manager / Director of Hockey Development Tyler Deis says Flint will be a big piece of Oiler success this season. 

“Nolan is an exceptional player with great strength, skating ability, and scoring touch. He is a coachable player with strong hockey IQ and the ability to adapt to the changing style of play. Nolan’s development path has been very consistent, and he will be a great addition to the Oiler lineup this season. He will be an exceptional player in this league.”
