Social Corner

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.

Trade Bait

| Jason Gregor

The NHL trade deadline is just over six weeks away. Will the Edmonton Oilers be buyers or will Ken Holland stand pat? I honestly don’t think the latter is a realistic option. Holland has been patient thus far, and his patience has been rewarded as the Oilers are right in the mix for a playoff…

Thank You, Thank You

| Jason Gregor

Sometimes words aren’t enough, but I wanted to pass along a heartfelt thank you. In November of 2011, I came up with an idea to help others. I didn’t have much of a detailed plan at the time. I’ve learned a lot along the way, but back then I was simply hoping through my platform,…

Remembering Dad

| Jason Gregor

Nineteen is one of my favourite numbers. There is no special reason other than I like how it looks, and I wore it a few years in hockey. I was 19 when I met my first girlfriend. I also bought my first vehicle; a 1982 Ford EXP when I was 19. It was a good…

The world of sports memorabilia can be a crazy and wild place. For some of the more coveted signatures, the price tag for items can reach into the thousands and higher, and the allure of making a quick buck off of faking the hottest signature in Edmonton right now is high. But thanks to the…
