DU '06 Recruit Matt Glasser Shines at Oilers Rookie CampLeft: #64 Matt Glasser at Edmonton's rookie camp
Last we heard from 'o6 DU recruit Matt Glasser, he was being drafted in the 7th Round by the Edmonton Oilers. Since that time he has moved up to the #1 position on Chris Heiselberg's list of Alberta College Prospects. Playing left wing for the Ft. McMurray Oil Barons, Matt is the 2nd leading scorer on the team. The Oil Barons, who finished 2nd last season, are off to a great start this year at 8-1-0.

Glasser is described by Kevin Prendergast in Hockey's Future website as having “excellent vision and he’s a strong skater." Playing at altitude in Denver against tired opponents will surely highlight his skating ability.
The big news is Glasser's performance at the Edmonton Oilers Rookie Camp over the summer. Playing against the likes of Yan Stastny (Brother of Paul) and former UND captain Matt Greene, Glasser more than held his own. He had an assist on a second period goal and then tallied an apparent game winner as time expired. The goal was disallowed when it was ruled that the buzzer had sounded and the game went to overtime. Glasser's team eventually lost in the Penalty Shootout. Nonetheless, his performance caught the attention of the Oilers management in attendance.
Edmonton has also drafted DU player's Geoff Paukovich and goalie Glenn Fisher. Its starting to look like the Denver Pioneers have become the unofficial WCHA affiliate of the Edmonton Oilers.
