  • Another former Fort Worth Brahma joins the Oilers in the form of defenseman Ricky Helmbrecht. A 5'11", 190-pound defenseman, Helmbrecht is entering his seventh season as a pro. Last year, Helmbrecht appeared in 17 regular season games for the Fort Worth Brahmas, and played in all nine of the Brahmas' playoff contests. Helmbrecht, who hails from Mora, Minnesota, played three seasons in the German Oberliga before making stops in the SPHL with the Knoxville Ice Bears, and ECHL with the Cincinnati Cyclones and Greenville Road Warriors. "Ricky was recommended to me by my good friend, Dan Wildfong (former Brahmas Head Coach)," said Ramsay. “It’s always a plus when you can bring in a guy who has experience in this league. Talented, tough defensemen aren’t easy to find, so we feel fortunate to have Ricky on board. “I think my consistency and my ability to battle are my biggest strengths,” said the 28-year-old Helmbrecht. I just try to be solid in every aspect of my game, and I’m very comfortable here in the CHL.
