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.
When I first started working at the Nation, Wanye and I put together a survey to give you guys a voice in how we do things around here. Now, six years and many changes later, it’s time to dust off the ol’ survey machine to get your thoughts on how we’re doing.
There’s no doubt in my mind that one of the best parts of working at the Nation are the events we get to throw and the experiences we all have as a result, and there’s no better example in my mind than the bus trips we take to Calgary. Thanks to our friends at The…
After having so much fun at the Season Launch Party a couple of weeks ago, we decided that we should probably throw another all-ages event with our friends at The Canadian Brewhouse as a means of getting the Nation together. One of the best parts of this job is getting together and meeting with the…
After another long, playoff-less summer, a brand new hockey season is peeking out of its wrapper and we wanted to throw a party to kick things off as an offering to the hockey gods as we begin our quest to get back into the playoffs. My friends, it’s time for the season opener party again…
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…
On Thursday, August 29th, we took over the links at Cougar Creek Golf Resort for the third annual Oilersnation Open presented by the Canadian Brewhouse and Wilhauk Beef Jerky, and, as expected, it was one of the best days of the summer.
On August 17th, our friends at Sherwood Ford have partnered up with Chase the Cure YEG in support of the Alberta Cancer Foundation to help raise awareness and funds for cancer research, and we wanted to use our platform to help get a few more eyes on the event. While I know this isn’t a…
Would you love the opportunity to go to Las Vegas, watch some hockey, and party with your favourite Internet friends? Of course you would. That’s why we’ve partnered up with our friends at AMA Travel to pack a plane full of Nation citizens and make our way down to Vegas to get out of the…
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…
I’ll be the first to admit that this job is pretty cool. Truth be told, I feel grateful all the time that I get to hang out at Nation HQ with the boys and talk hockey with all of you guys every day. The gig can be weird, different, time consuming, stressful and everything in…
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…
