It’s been a busy summer for not only the Edmonton Oilers but the Beer League Heroes too! I couldn’t be happier with the recent additions to both teams but I think all of the Oilers blogs have flogged the recent signings to death so I’d like to introduce to you the most recent signings here at Beer League Heroes.
Zach Laing (@loweded) – Former creator of OilonWhyte.com and currently of coppernblue.com, Mr.Laing brings forth a ton of experience and a wealth of Oilers knowledge that BLH could sorely use! One of Zach’s best posts so far is one he wrote about trading for Seth Jones here.
Corey Mitchell (@corn_cwm) – Corey comes to us from getrealhockey.com and he’ll be covering the Oilers prospects and minor league teams. He’s already posted twice with us here and here.
Ryan Robinson (@ryandlace) – You might know Ryan from the viral Youtube video “Life as an Oilers Fan”. We’re so jacked to have Mr.Robinson join us here at Beer League Heroes as he truly is the voice of the diehard Edmonton Oilers fan. Starting this season he’ll be contributing his vlogs to our site for all of you to enjoy!
Beer League Heroes T-Shirts
After Oilersnation was willing to partner up on the 16-Bit Heroes t-shirt design, We’ve opened up a “little” shop of our own over at Tee Public with over 100 different t-shirt designs. This is where you can get the official Beer League Heroes t-shirt AND where you can literally find your favorite NHL superstar in 16-bit form!
We do take requests!
Check out the pics below and head over to the link to find a shirt with your favorite player on it! The shirts are priced at $20 but when new designs are released they are on sale for 3 days for $14.
At the moment we’re designing some new 16-bit Edmonton Oilers designs so stay tuned for those. We’re planning to release those around the time of the Young Stars Tournament in Penticton (September 11-14th).
Lastly, I’d like to comment on how proud I am of my team here. With out them BLH would still be a middling part-time blog over on Weebly and without them we wouldn’t be getting linked to and mentioned on such blogs as Puck Daddy, The Hockey Writers, or Copper and Blue (Walter Foddis got the mention at CnB).
Thanks guys! We’re in for an amazing year and I’m super stoked to have you all on board!
