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.
Not since 1989 when the Oilers hosted the NHL all-star game, has Edmonton seen the likes of the All-Star game and festivities that this weekend will bring to the gem of the River Valley, Re-Max Field. The WCBL All-Star weekend is upon us and the Edmonton Prospects are hosting. Both the home run derby (2:00…
Welcome, Nation, to the summer announcement that you’ve all been waiting for! Today, I’m pumped to announce the third annual Oilersnation Open presented by Wilhauk Beef Jerky and the Canadian Brewhouse which will be held at Cougar Creek Golf Resort on August 29th in support of the Jason Gregor Foundation, and that you’re all invited…

As the sporting landscape continues to evolve and grow, and female players and teams get more attention — as they should — I hope those players and coaches understand that criticism isn’t sexist. The Women’s World Cup of Soccer kicked off in France this past weekend. For the first time, the tournament has expanded from…

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.

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.
