The Okotoks Oilers are now just waiting.

Their first round bye in the AJHL playoffs gets them some time off, while they wait for the teams below them to battle it out in the best of five first round series.

Oilers Coach Tyler Deis says the boys will take the time off, but they still want to get back out there.

"I think they're eager. I think they're excited about it, but it'll be here sooner rather than later."

The Oilers will kick off round two of the playoffs next weekend.
