Forward of the Latvian national hockey team Rūdolfs Balcers On Thursday, after a four-year break, he returned to Norway’s strongest league with a goal and two assists, helping Stavenger’s “Oilers” win.
The Oilers defeated Sparpborg’s Sparta 5: 4 (0: 0, 3: 3, 2: 1).

Balcers also successfully scored a victory in the goal, which Markuss Sobergs scored ten minutes before the end of the duel.
Dan Kisel scored two “goals” for the winners.
Balcers played for the last time in the Oilers team in the 2015/16 season. That year, he was also crowned Norwegian champion for the second time in a row, but for the Oilers it was the fifth title in a row. A year later, the Oilers also celebrated their victory in the local championship.
After five games, the Oilers are seventh among ten clubs with six points.
It has already been reported that the National Hockey League (NHL) team Ottawa Senators, after concluding a new one-year contract with Latvian striker Rūdolfs Balceras, has hired him from Stavanger Oilers, where the Latvian had already played before going to North America. Balcers would have joined the Norwegian club earlier, but this was delayed by talks with the Ottawa Senators over a new deal.
