I don't believe the Senators, Oilers, or Flames have announced anything yet.
Bruce Garrioch reported on the weekend that he expects the Senators to announce something this week. If that happens, it would leave the Alberta teams as the last holdouts.
It's obvious it's going to happen before the start of the season, so they should just bite the bullet and announce it now. The longer they wait, the more it makes them look like antivax lunatics.

From some of the inside baseball stories i got from a friend of mine who works with the Stampede (was involved in many decisions they made this year), I would not be surprised at all if the Government of Alberta is actively lobbying Oilers and Flames to not implement vaccine requirements of any sort
