Hey there, time traveller!

The new Virden team in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League will be known as the Oil Capitals.
The Virden ownership group unveiled its new name on Wednesday, adopting red and black colours on a logo that features hockey sticks and oil pump jacks reflective of the booming industry in the area.
The Virden ownership group purchased the former Winnipeg Saints franchise last month and transferred it to the southwestern Manitoba town to play in the new Virden Recreational Facility in the 2012-13 MJHL campaign.
Season tickets are scheduled to go on sale May 25 during the start of the Oil Capitals spring camp in Virden. Fans purchasing season tickets will be able to go to the new Virden rink and handpick their seat, while watching the club’s returning players and prospects skate in the spring camp under the direction of new head coach Troy Leslie.
