As the 2024 season fast approaches, the Edmonton Oilers will continue to put their focus on involving the community.
Fans of the Oilers who live outside the city will continue to monitor if their town is picked as part of the annual Celebrating Oil Country Initiative.
The second annual event will be travelling to Vermilion on November 1st to showcase the fandom in the community, the program includes a visit from an Oilers delegation, funding for the local minor hockey team, live broadcasts and other feature content.
Tim Shipton is the Executive Vice President of OEG Sports and Entertainment said the team wanted to get out in the community and show why they have some of the best fans in the world.
Shipton hopes to see the Celebrating Oil Country Initiative reach heights similar to Kraft Hockeyville where communities can submit their nomination.
Looking towards the regular season, the Oilers will have many themed nights headlined by the Indigenous Night on November 13th.
Full details on all the upcoming theme nights can be found on their website.
