The Oilers have been officially located in Edmonton since 1973, but for two years previous to that the franchise was called the Alberta Oilers. NHL tickets to see this historically successful NHL team have been as popular as any sports ticket in Canada over the years. The Oilers have won several Stanley Cups, including five in seven years during the 1980s with the help of legendary hockey star Wayne Gretzky. The "Battle of Alberta" is fought every NHL hockey season when the Calgary Flames and the Edmonton Oilers square off on the ice. When gasoline (Oilers) and fire (Flames) come together, the results are explosive, so tickets to this game are going to sell out fast.
The Edmonton Oilers have their eyes set on getting to the playoffs, but they'll need to see a surge in offense next season in order to continue playing hockey into the month of May. Can Ales Hemsky lead the Oilers to the top of the Northwest Division? Can Edmonton climb past Calgary, Vancouver and Minnesota in the 2009-10 season?
