Edmonton Oilers - Team
History & Information
The Oilers kicked off the 2009 off-season
by firing long-time head
coach Craig
MacTavish and assistants Billy
Moores and Charlie
Huddy. The Oilers replaced MacT by hiring Pat
Quinn to be the head coach, Tom
Renney as the associate
coach and Wayne
Fleming as the assistant coach, while Kelly
Buchberger was retained as assistant coach. The Oilers
then drafted highly touted Magnus
Paajarvi-Svensson 10th overall at the 2009
NHL Entry Draft. The Oilers then traded fan-favorite
Kyle Brodziak to the Minnesota
Wild for two draft picks in the 2009 Draft, which the
Oilers used to draft Kyle
Bigos and Olivier
Roy. The Oilers then headed into Free Agency with two
key Free Agents in Dwayne
Roloson and Ales
Kotalik. Oilers let both of them walk and replaced them
with Nikolai
Khabibulin and Mike
Comrie, respectively. Khabibulin signed a 4yr/$15 million
contract, while Comrie signed a 1yr/$1.125 million contract.
While the Oilers made these transactions, the whole off-season
was marred by the huge blockbuster trade that was made with
the Ottawa
Senators in which the Oilers would acquire 2-time 50
goal scorer Dany
Heatley in exchange for forwards Andrew
Cogliano, Dustin
Penner, and defenseman Ladislav
Smid. Heatley would refuse, and would later get traded
to the San
Jose Sharks for Jonathan
Cheechoo and Milan
Michalek.
Edmonton Oilers
- Rexall Place
When the arena opened on November 10, 1974, it was known
as Northlands Coliseum to house the
World Hockey Association Oilers, named after the nonprofit
organization that still owns the arena today. Then
it became the Edmonton Coliseum in 1994,
and Skyreach Centre in 1998, before
it changed to its current name during the middle of the
2003–04
NHL season when its naming
rights were purchased by the Rexall medicine
company, a subsidiary of Katz
Group Canada.
The arena was used to host games
in the 1981 and 1984 Canada Cup hockey tournaments,
including Game 2 of the 1984 finals between Canada
and Sweden. In the 1995 World Junior Championships,
which were held in various cities and towns throughout
Alberta, Edmonton Coliseum was the site of several
games, including Canada's 6–3 victory
over Finland on New Year's Day.
