Another Philp brother is on an NHL deal. The Edmonton Oilers have signed Noah Philp to a one-year contract for the 2022-23 season. No financial terms were disclosed, but he will join the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors on an amateur try-out for the rest of the season.
A free agent out of the University of Alberta, Philp finished the regular season with 11 points in just eight games but tore up a four-game playoff with ten points. It was his third year in school, including the 2020-21 season that was completely lost to COVID. Prior to that, he played four seasons in the WHL with the Kootenay Ice and Seattle Thunderbirds.
Philp, a 23-year-old center, is the younger brother of Luke Philp, under contract with the Calgary Flames. The brothers will likely face off against each other this season in the AHL.
Noah will likely need a good amount of seasoning with Bakersfield before potentially getting an NHL look, especially considering the lack of hockey he’s played over the last two seasons.
Plan the parade!
