The Wings Athletic Club would like to announce they have signed veteran forward Rob Olson.

Olson adds more sandpaper to an increasingly gritty Wings lineup.

Wings assistant GM Brad Kopp says he is sick of being crosschecked in the head. “Last season things got out of hand a little bit. Guys were starting to take runs at us once we got up a goal or two. Adding a mountain man like Olson only made sense.”

Olson spent time with the Sherwood Park Crusaders from 1997-2000 amassing an impressive 851 penalty minutes in just 109 games.

That’s 2 big signings this week for The WAC and their management team. We’ll have to wait and see if they have any other deals in the works.

Olson is expected to make his debut Tuesday night as The Wings take on the Nighthawks at 8:45.
