The Edmonton Oilers were one of the 12 founding franchises in the NHL. They’ve won the Stanley Cup 5 times, won the conference championship 7 times, and won the division championship 6 times.
Everyone’s favorite hockey player Wayne Gretzky got his start with the team but was later traded to the Los Angeles Kings. Today, Wayne Gretzky memorabilia is getting harder to find. These Wayne Gretzky autographed jerseys are a great piece of history to own.
With some of their major players traded away, the Oilers have been in a period of reconstruction. New talent Michael Peca, Grant Fuhr, and Ryan Smyth have been helping the team get back on track.
In January of 2007 the team won their 1,000th game making them the third fastest NHL team to reach that landmark. The 1987-88 team is regarded as one of the top 5 hockey teams in all of history and the media has been calling this year’s team too hot to handle. Is this their year to win it all and claim back the fame? Only time will tell.
