EDMONTON – The Edmonton Oilers have signed forward Owen Michaels to a one-year entry-level contract for next season, the NHL club announced Thursday.
Michaels had 13 goals and 13 assists in 39 NCAA games with Western Michigan this past season while serving as team captain.
He was named the Frozen Four Most Outstanding Player in 2025 after leading Western Michigan to its first U.S. college title.
He capped his tournament with two goals in a 6-2 win over Boston University in the final.
The 23-year-old from Northville, Mich., had 33 goals and 33 assists in 119 games over three seasons with the Broncos.
The Oilers sat second in the Pacific Division and looked to build on a four-game winning streak when they hosted the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday night.
