<p>The Edmonton Oilers officially announced details for their 2025 Rookie Camp earlier today on social media, including a full 25-player roster and the schedule for a pair of games against the Calgary Flames. And thanks to our own Jason Gregor, we&#8217;ve got the list.</p>

<h2>Camp Opens Wednesday, September 10th</h2>
<p>The Oilers&#8217; 2025-26 rookie camp kicks off on Wednesday, September 10th, with players reporting to Rogers Place for medical evaluations and fitness testing. After a long summer away from the rink, the task will be to see how many of these kids are getting close to showtime, and how many of them still have many miles to go before making the jump. This year&#8217;s group features a mix of prospects, recent draft picks, college free agents, and invited tryouts, with a total of 14 forwards, seven defencemen, and four goaltenders set to participate.</p>
<p>Among the most notable names on the roster are:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2025/08/16/edmonton-oilers-summer-2025-prospect-countdown-2-isaac-howard/">Isaac Howard</a>, acquired from Tampa Bay in July, who posted 32 points in 40 games at Michigan State on his way to winning the Hobey Baker Award.</li>
<li><a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2025/08/17/edmonton-oilers-summer-2025-prospect-countdown-1-matthew-savoie/">Matt Savoie</a>, a former first-round pick acquired in the <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2024/07/08/many-layers-to-the-oilers-ryan-mcleod-for-matthew-savoie-trade/">Ryan McLeod trade</a> with Buffalo.</li>
<li>Tommy Lafreniere and David Lewandowski, two of Edmonton’s selections at the 2025 NHL Draft.</li>
<li><a href="https://oilersnation.com/news/what-edmonton-oilers-signing-quinn-hutson-bring-to-the-team">Quinn Hutson</a>, a productive winger from Boston University that signed as a free agent.</li>
<li>Beau Akey, Edmonton’s second-round pick in 2023 who continues to develop into a promising two-way defenceman.</li>
</ul>
<h2>On-Ice Sessions Begin Thursday</h2>
<p>The group will hit the ice for the first time on Thursday, September 11th, with the sessions being led by the Bakersfield Condors coaching staff. That will single practice will act as the final tune-up before the rookies face off against the Calgary Flames prospects on Friday, September 12th at 7:00 PM here at Rogers Place.</p>
<p>The two teams will meet again on Sunday, September 14th at 4:00 PM in Calgary at the Saddledome, following a Saturday practice session. Edmonton&#8217;s rookie camp will conclude on Monday, September 15 with one final skate and the resulting cuts. What I&#8217;m most interested to watch is if players like Matthew Savoie and Ike Howard can dominate against their peers, or at least, look like they&#8217;re head and shoulders above the rest.</p>
<p>Seeing as the Oilers are expecting both players to contribute on the NHL roster this coming season, having them be the best players in rookie camp shouldn&#8217;t be too much to ask. If anything, we shouldn&#8217;t even have to say anything about it, and these two guys should just naturally lead the way. Of course, there&#8217;s also the possibility that this doesn&#8217;t happen, which would like raise plenty of questions as we approach the main training camp.</p>
<h2>Ticket &amp; Streaming Info</h2>
<p>If you&#8217;re interested in checking the kids out as they kick off their NHL journey, Friday’s game is here at Rogers Place and is open to fans, with general admission tickets available now at <a href="https://www.edmontonoilers.com/tickets" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EdmontonOilers.com/Tickets</a>. According to the Oilers&#8217; press release, the tickets are reasonably cheap, so you&#8217;ll want to get yours early in case it sells out.</p>
<ul>
<li>Advance tickets: $20</li>
<li>Day-of-game tickets: $25</li>
</ul>
<p>For the rest of us, both games will be streamed live on Oilers+, giving fans a first look at many of the organization’s top prospects and hopefuls. While there&#8217;s still plenty of time left to go before the big dance starts in October, having the rookies hit the ice this weekend is our first step to showtime, and I&#8217;m pretty damned excited to get going.</p>
