The Best Canadian Hockey Towns
| April 10, 2019
Edmonton
Edmonton, the capital city of Alberta, may not be as big as Toronto and may not enjoy the history of Montreal, but it’s contributions to professional hockey cannot be understated.
For starters, the city is home to the Oilers, one of the most important franchises to ever take to the ice. The team was founded in 1972, but it was the dynasty years between 1983 and 1990 that took the sport to new heights. The team would win five championships over that span, with “The Great One” Wayne Gretzky leading the charge.
Edmonton birthed many all-star hockey players, too. Including Mark Messier, Jarome Iginla, Scott Niedermayer, and current Montreal Canadian Brendan Gallagher just to name a few.
