“We would like to thank Aidan for his contributions to the organization and wish him the best in his future endeavors,” said Oil Kings President of Hockey Operations and General Manager, Kirt Hill.
The next game for the Americans is Friday, January 10 (7:05 p.m. PT) when the team will host it’s U.S. Division rivals, the Seattle Thunderbirds, at the Toyota Center.
