The Rig (The Official Podcast of the Vernal Oilers)

We are joined this week by a player who came in like a tornado and scored his first goal as a Vernal Oiler to set the tone for the final stretch of the season...he followed it up within 8 mins with a clapper on the power play #21 Brayden Boucher.    We talk about the 3 game series in which the Oilers out scored the Yeti 33-5...then we talk about the trip up to McCall...is this a sneaky good weekend series??? We will be closer then people think? We saw a shootout win when they came here so who knows, those questions will be answered this week!    Thank you to Cozy Minky Co, Roosevelt Subway and Vernal Marriott Properties for sponsoring todays episode   Help us continue to grow the pod by liking, sharing, following and telling yo friends and yo family!
