Your Guide to The Edmonton Oilers
The Edmonton Oilers have cemented their place in the records of NHL history with their unforgettable victories and devoted fan base. Witness the hockey hair flowing live and in person at Rogers Place! With a rich history that includes 5 Stanley Cup Championships under their very large sleeves, some of the greatest players to ever lace up their skates, and one of the sleekest barns (hockey arenas) in North America, you’re in for a real treat.
Edmontonians eat, sleep and breathe hockey. Just mention Wayne Gretzky, the Dynasty years, the ‘06 playoff run, or Connor McDavid to any local and you’ll soon be familiar with all things Edmonton Oilers and the quest for Lord Stanley’s mug (IE: The Stanley Cup, the championship trophy awarded annually to the National Hockey League playoff winner). Experts at OLBG, the sports community, analyzed and found out which sports teams have the happiest fans based on social activity. These experts found that the Oilers have the second happiest fans in NHL!

The Oilers and Oil Kings bench is in front of Section 102, and the visitor bench is in front of section 103.
Here for the Party
So, you’re the guy who makes it onto the jumbo screen and chugs not one, but two beers in seconds and then proceeds to dance down the stairs? You’ll find your fellow party people at the Drink Rail sections located in 101, 104, 105, and 107 and in the Sportsnet Sky Lounge.
Unbeatable Views
For the best views of the ice, check out the Loge seating. With in-seat wait service at the tables, you’ll never have to leave your seat and you won’t miss any of the action. If you like a birds eye view of the game (and cheaper ticket prices), rows 1-4 in Sections 202, 203, 219 and 220 are stellar spots.

Don’t forget to bring a sweater - it’s not as cold in the arena as it is outside, but you’ll want to be comfortable while you cheer on the Oil!
Do celebrate when the Oilers get a goal. High-fiving your neighbours, fist pumping, and dancing are encouraged!
Get ready for an ear-shattering crowd experience.
