I sincerely hope the team is a success in Edmonton. The Oilers killed the last three WHL teams Edmonton had, so hopefully with their support this one will last.
I hope the WHL doesnt schedule the Oil Kings home opener against a Hitmen home game. I'll make the drive up if I can.
That said, I hate the name. They are dragging up a 30 year dead skeleton while trying to sell a new team to kids that cannot relate to the name.
Celebrate your past, but dont live in it.
