Playing career

edit

Philp played in the Western Hockey League (WHL) with the Kootenay Ice before being traded to the Seattle Thunderbirds. He would later accept an amateur tryout with the Stockton Heat, the American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate of the Calgary Flames but would not be signed to a contract.[1]

Philp would continue his hockey career by playing college hockey at the University of Alberta. In 36 games with the Alberta Golden Bears over two seasons, he scored 20 goals and 18 assists.

Philp was signed to a one-year contract with the Edmonton Oilers on April 5, 2022. He finished the season with the Bakersfield Condors on an amateur tryout, playing in 3 games before the contract officially kicked in the next season.[2]

The next season, he had 19 goals and 18 assists in 70 games, earning the attention of many in Oilers management. However, on June 14, 2023, Philp announced his retirement from hockey for personal reasons.[3]

One year later, Philp signed a one-year deal with the Oilers on July 1, 2024, marking his return. He shined in pre-season but was sent down to the Condors for more development.[4] He was called up on October 29, 2024 along with Drake Caggiula with an injury to captain Connor McDavid.

Philp played in his first NHL game on October 31, 2024, a 5–1 win vs. the Nashville Predators. He recorded his first career assist on a Corey Perry goal, which would end up being the game-winning goal.
