The Okotoks Oilers are back in action Friday night as they play their home opener against the Calgary Mustangs.

Coming off what he calls a "disappointing" loss to Drumheller Wednesday in their season opener, Oilers Coach James Poole says he's hoping his young squad learned a lesson from that game.

"Hopefully we'll make a big stride on Friday and come out with a great effort and show the home crowd what type of team we have this year and obviously show that we have some exciting players that hopefully the fans can grow to really appreciate here in Okotoks."

Game time is 7 o'clock at the Centennial Arena.

The Oilers head to Brooks Saturday to tangle with the Bandits.
