Table Of Contents
The Oilers are based at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta. They’ve played there (along with the WHL’s Edmonton Oil Kings) since it was opened in 2016.
The team is relatively new. It traces its history back to the Alberta Oilers in the 1972-73 season of the WHA. The following year, it changed its name to the current Edmonton Oilers. But when the WHA folded after the 1978-79 season, the Oilers were one of 4 teams to move to the National Hockey League (NHL).
Despite being such a young team, the Oilers have had a lot of successes. Last year, they made it to the second round of the playoffs. And they’ve made the Stanley Cup seven times — winning five times during a very strong period of the 1980s.
The Oilers are a part of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference in the NHL.
