Player of the game wears this for 10 minutes.
2nd star has to wear it for 20 minutes.
3rd star has to wear it for 30 minutes.
Hardest working Oiler has to wear it for 40 minutes and explain why they have shifted the next day off to the media.

Who's brilliant idea was that? I have to wonder if there is some significant reason behind it...

Who would want to wear that thing after a win? That's actually awful.

Edmonton's new item? A Harley Davidson motorcycle helmet. Veteran winger Matt Hendricks came up with the idea and brought it in.
"It's the first time it's been in the locker room," said Talbot, who wore the helmet after a 31-save performance against the Hurricanes. "Hendo picked it up at the store the other day and sent out a text to the leadership group here and we all agreed it is a good symbol for what we want to be this year. We want to be a tight-knit group. We want to be a team that's got each other's backs and just a team that really sticks together. We all agreed when he put it in those terms that it made a lot of sense."

I'm not sure how a motorcycle helmet symbolizes any of those things.

I think the Harley Helmet suits the Oilers perfectly:
Harley has a super obnoxious fan base, that despite the questionable product quality for the last few decades are for some reason fiercely loyal, and will tell anyone who prefers an objectively better product that they are wrong and stupid, and that clearly this pile of junk is superior. And if anyone brings up the fact that their current bikes are garbage, they'll just start talking about how you can't beat a classic Harley from decades ago.
Finally if you got 20 Harley riders together to go for an 82 mile ride, things would look great and they'd all be super happy until about mile 20 when bikes would start breaking down, and it would quickly become obvious that the ride is a disaster and all of those guys on other "inferior" bikes are passing them pretty quickly.
Seems like a perfect metaphor for that dressing room.

Oilers have a player named Davidson on their roster. Shouldn't they just give to him every game even if Tkachuk knocked him out?

Bike helmet is a nice contrast to our police hat.

Not to mention the noise. Just obnoxiously loud at all times, even when they should be trying not to be noticed.
