Edmonton Oil Kings Tickets

The Edmonton Oil Kings is a major junior hockey team that serves as an important developmental program for young hockey prospects up to the age of 20. Owned and operated by the Edmonton Oilers, the program can trace its roots back to the early days of Canadian junior hockey. The first incarnation of the Oil Kings was founded in 1951. After joining the WHL, the Oil Kings won back-to-back championships in 1971 and 1972. The team departed Edmonton in 1976 for Portland, and except for a brief return in 1978 and 1979, the Oil Kings franchise lay fallow for decades. However, in the 21st century, the Edmonton Oilers began pursuing the purchase of a WHL franchise. This pursuit finally concluded with the triumphant return of the Oil Kings in 2007. The team quickly captured the coveted Ed Chynoweth Cup in 2012 and 2014. It also won the 2014 Memorial Cup for the best team in all of Canadian major junior hockey.
