View Horcoff's bio and career statistics
The Oilers’ third choice in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft, Horcoff is coming off his most productive NHL season in 2005-06. The 27-year-old forward almost doubled his previous single-season scoring totals as he established career highs in goals, assists and points with 22-51-73 in 79 games to finish as the Oilers’ second leading scorer.
