Last week, the University of Alberta Golden Bears were white-knuckling their way through the final two minutes against Trinity Western. Last night, they beat Grant MacEwan 7-1, and the scoreboard isn't even the most important part of the story. Let's be clear about something: a 7-1 win...

Connor McDavid just signed a two-year extension at $12.5 million per season, and if you're not immediately recognizing what that means, let me spell it out: the best player in the world just gave the Edmonton Oilers another massive hometown discount. Two years. Same AAV as his current...

The Golden Bears had varying degrees of expectations placed on them ahead of their home opener this past Friday night. On the one hand, they were playing Trinity Western University, the last-ranked team in the Canada West preseason coaches poll. On the other hand, they added 13 new players...

"If you look at the stat line, (it) doesn’t look very good," said Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch of his newly-formed top line a few nights ago. Minus-three in a 4-1 game? Yeah, that's not great. But plus-two, four goals, and five assists in a 4-1 game against...

And so the tryouts continue, if you could even call it that. The Edmonton Oilers have a promising, albeit small, group of prospects to keep an eye on as they carry out the remainder of their training camp (only three preseason games left—yikes). And unsurprisingly, you shouldn't be surprised. The...

It was at the Edmonton Oilers morning skate that Leon Draisaitl rolled his eyes when asked about playing with Connor McDavid on the first line... again. "Guys, we've done this 10 years. 11 years, it's going to switch. It's going to go back and forth," began Draisaitl. "I...

Despite recent rule changes and another loaded recruitment year, the University of Alberta Golden Bears have kept to their ultimate goal—winning. Sure, that is the goal of any program wishing to maintain its reputation as not just one of, but the best in Canada West from here on...

From contracts to goaltending and young rookies, Edmonton Oilers General Manager Stan Bowman, head coach Kris Knoblauch, and two players, Jake Walman and Zach Hyman, met with the Oilers media today to dive into what all fans have been wanting to know, and a little more. Below are...

Changes behind the bench is nothing new for the Edmonton Oil Kings. Over the past 15 years, the organization has seen five waves of coaching shifts, and this fall marks the beginning of another new chapter under Jason Smith. The former Edmonton Oilers captain took the reins of...

There were two names every Edmonton Oilers fan was paying attention to as the Oilers' rookie game approached—Isaac "Ike" Howard and Matt Savoie. All rightfully so. The two first-line wingers showed up to Rogers Place ready and able to prove that not only did they expect a roster...

The Edmonton Oilers are going to look a little younger next season, and boy, did they need it. There's no denying the collective impact that the older players had on the Oilers' lineup—something like Corey Perry throwing hits at 40 as if he were 20 years younger. But...

$104 million in cap space is a lot, until it isn't. It's enough to add a skilled player here and there, fill some of the support roles, and fix areas that were perhaps glaringly obvious in the Stanley Cup final against the Florida Panthers. Cough, cough, the Edmonton Oilers. So...
