Social Corner is content that takes a break from news, statistics, and analysis and instead focuses on the human aspect of the game. Everything from what players do off the ice and away from the arena to what fans are coming up with on social media. If there’s a story the Internet is talking about, we’re going to cover it for you in a way that only the Nation can.
Just under four years ago, I started my first day working at Nation HQ as a part-time intern. The day was just five days away from when the Edmonton Oilers would select Connor McDavid first overall in the NHL entry draft, and our lives would change forever.
Is there anything better than sitting in the sun and watching some baseball with a frosty beverage in one hand and a hot dog in the other? No. The answer is no. That’s why we’re so pumped to be partnering with the Edmonton Prospects again this summer.
Remember when our very own, Connor McDavid, was just breaking into the NHL a.k.a his acting career? When he jumped into the spotlight, sponsorships came flying his way from all over the place. This is pretty common for NHL superstars, as the league is trying to build a personality for them and most players are…
This morning, the NHL announced via their official website that Leon Draisaitl was named as the Oilers nominee for the King Clancy Memorial Trophy, which will be awarded at the coming NHL awards in June.
After closing out the season last night in Calgary, I wanted to take a quick minute to say thank you to everyone that came with us on the bus trip down to the Saddledome to close out the season.
I will not forget the Humboldt Broncos. Nor will you. Nor will the millions of Canadians across this country. Because what happened 365 days ago has been seared into the memory of every Canadian and many more around the world.
Alright, this is not the type of article I wanted to be writing about at this time of year, but it’s the situation that has been thrust upon us and we’re going to make the best of it. The boys have officially been eliminated from playoff contention last night due to the Avs overtime loss….
Wow, where do I even begin? We just got back from four days in Las Vegas and I had the time of my life. I thought I’d take a minute to recap our awesome trip to those who couldn’t attend. We missed you, but hopefully, you can re-live the weekend vicariously through me and the…
It’s the seventh most exciting time of the year! The Oilers playoff chances are pretty much doomed, but the NHLPA just released their player polls and as you can imagine, Connor McDavid is at the top of a lot of categories and even made some improvements from last years polls.
The novice hockey season is about to wrap up and it was the first year with two half-ice games going on at the same time on the same sheet of ice for Novice-aged players (7). If you aren’t aware of some of details with the changes made from Hockey Canada from full-ice games at the…
As you know, I make sure to spend every second of every day scouring the Inter-web for Oilers content to bring to you all. I want you to be updated on what’s happening in Oilersnation and I’m here today to tell you that our boys, Connor McDavid, and Leon Draisaitl, joined the guys on the…
One of my favourite things about being a part of the Nation is easily the events we throw as an excuse to get everyone together. Whether it’s a party like we had last Saturday, a charity drive to support a local initiative, or any other event we’ve come up with over the years, the Nation’s…
