The Oilers joined the NHL in 1979, when the WHA and NHL merged to form one league. The Oilers have never been based in any city other than Edmonton, making for a very loyal and dedicated fan base.
The Edmonton Oilers schedule includes other teams from the NHL Western Conference's Northwest Division. Some very famous NHL players have strapped on ice skates for the Oilers, including Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier. Along with Gretzky and Messier, several other former Oilers players are also members of the NHL Hall of Fame. These players and their teammates have helped guide the Oilers to 5 Stanley Cup wins in the team's history. The Oilers also hold multiple NHL team and single player records, including single game, season, and career records.
The Edmonton Oilers have called Rexall Place home since 1974. Rexall Place has a seating capacity of over 16,000 fans. However, since ice hockey is a very popular sport in Canada and the fans are very dedicated to their team, Edmonton Oilers games at Rexall Place may sell out very quickly. Edmonton Oilers tickets should therefore be purchased as far in advance as possible if you do not hold season tickets. Our site is a convenient place to buy Oilers tickets, which are available in a range of prices that nearly every fan can afford. An Oilers game is a fun and affordable way for a family to spend some time together while supporting their favorite team.
