Edmonton Oilers vs New York Islanders

When you think about pro sports in Edmonton, the first thing you think of is the Edmonton Oilers. Enjoy a game at Rogers Place, their shiny new digs. The building has loads of amenities to give fans more choice on how they watch the game. Sure, you can choose to sit in old-school arena seats, but you can also reserve a loge table, where you enjoy a clear view of the game and have food and drinks brought to the table. Or try the Sportsnet lounge, with a buffet included in the ticket price. Even though it’s been 30+ years since the Edmonton Oilers have won a Stanley Cup, Rogers Place does feature tributes to the team’s winning history. Get your photo taken at the Wayne Gretzky statue outside the main entrance on 104 Avenue. Just inside the front entrance is a small collection of artifacts from Oilers history. And, in Studio 99, an eatery located on the second level above the main entrance, you can chow down while you admire the memorabilia donated by Gretzky from his collection. Shop for Oilers merchandise at the Oilers store located in the Ice District Plaza. It’s open weekdays so you pick up something even when there isn’t a game on.
