The Oilers were founded in 1971 by W. D. "Wild Bill" Hunter and Dr. Chuck Allard and played its first season in 1972 as one of the twelve founding franchises of the major professional World Hockey Association (WHA). After joining the NHL, the Oilers went on to win the Stanley Cupon five occasions: 1983-84, 1984-85, 1986-87, 1987-88 and 1989-90. Along with the Pittsburgh Penguins, they are tied for the most championshipswon by any team since the NHL-WHA merger, as well as the most won by any team that joined the league in or after 1967. Tonight is their night to shine. I'm sorry Dallas but I'm rooting for Edmonton Oilers.

So if you want a fairly affordable night out with the family watching a sport, the Edmonton…read moreProspects baseball team is for you. 10 buck parking, under 20 bucks for admission (and kids are cheaper), and being outside cheering on your home team bonds everyone without breaking the bank. There is a limited cover, so if the weather turns you can run up to it. Lots of food choices including sushi, Drift food truck, two ice cream places, as well as the typical concession food. Lots of interactive games, cheers and fun to get the crowd involved. Sometimes they also have special concerts so you may get more than you paid for. Definitely give it a try!

Now this is a fun night out. And surprisingly.... good for the WHOLE family! There were lots of…read morekids around, and a couple of pretty small babies. I held a 4 month old for most of the show :) When a friend of a friend started wrestling, I decided to tag along with them one night. Seems like there are events the first Saturday of every month and tickets are $20 each. And you're in for 2 and a half hours of entertainment! For the most part, the wrestlers put on a great show. They stick to their characters and really interact with the crowd. I loved seeing the group of kids that get REALLY into it. It's good for a family outing... it's good for a date. It's just a fun time all around.

Monster Pro Wrestling is one of the more established independent wrestling outfits working the…read moreEdmonton area and recently they are showing all the signs of blowing the lid off Edmonton with their monthly live shows and moving into an entirely new plane of sports entertainment. Independent wrestling companies come and go. The business is a shoe-string one for most operators, who build their promotions out of love for the sport rather than any great ambition to make millions. They can't afford to pay the wrestlers they hire huge amounts of money and constantly scramble to pull together shows with spit and last minute divine inspiration. Promoters will build a card (a program) with a double-handful of wrestlers who also work more for the love of their chosen profession. Pay-outs the equivalent of $20 and a handshake are not unheard of. There are very few of these professional athletes who will get the big break: a chance to try out for WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) - the one North American pro wrestling promotion that dominates television and can provide a wrestler with fame, money and a full time career. But despite these odds, wrestlers continue to pound their bodies once a month or more, driving across provinces and down into the States to work a show for a smidgen more than the cost of their gas. Monster Pro Wrestling has persisted despite the realities of the business, hard economic times and in the last couple of years, the death of one of the company's partners and ardent financial supporters. They have continued to provide their monthly live wrestling shows throughout the grim times. Fans and the odd reviewer consistently compare MPW shows to the Stampede Wrestling shows they remember as kids, when Stampede Wrestling continuously toured and was mandatory weekly television for most of western Canada. Recently, though, MPW are stepping up the quality and sheer entertainment level of their shows. They have been tapped as the chosen between-bands entertainment at Edmonton's annual Sonic Boom rock festival every September, performing in front of 20,000 music fans who find them just as fascinating as the bands they come to see. Recently, the special guest list at MPW is a who's-who of high powered wrestling: Honky Tonk Man and Dan "The Beast" Severn both appearing in the ring. Phil LaFon, former WWF wrestler, is a fixture on the card. The November 6 show had all the hallmarks and promise of great things to come from MPW. All the matches were solid and the standing-room only crowd were loud in their delight at the antics and entertainment provided. The highlight of the night, though, had to be the Ladders, Tables and Chairs match between Massive Damage and Nite. The match was eagerly anticipated throughout the evening by the fans, who had voted for the face-off on the promotion's website the month before. Massive Damage won the match, but both wrestlers ended up bloody and drained by the end of it. The match ended when Massive Damage dropped Nite from the top rope through a table that Nite had set on fire - a move that brought most of the audience to its feet in sheer disbelief and adulation. The carnage in the ring, once the lights came up at the end of the show, was possibly the most photographed view that night. It's this level of gut-wrenching sports entertainment that will push MPW into a class of its own in Western Canada. If you loved Stampede Wrestling in the seventies and early eighties, if you still watch WWE, then MPW is a great night of live pro wrestling you'll be sorry you missed if you don't go at least once to check them out.

Lost my CFL virginity here back on August 13, and the overwhelming lesson of the evening was:…read moreStamps Suck Shit. Yes, it became clear that this was the important conclusion to draw as the Esks beat the Stampeders in a dramatic last second thriller. I would have thought that it was a hard fought match between two excellent teams, but the fans informed me otherwise with repeated chants in the stadium and surroundings: "Calgary Sucks." More specifically, "Stamps Suck Shit." Oh, and that you want the Eskimos to score so that a sponsor will donate money to HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL. Yes, that is shouted. Don't ask. Just for sh*ts and giggles, I'd like to see the NFL adopt CFL rules for a week. Why? Because it leads to awesome football! There are only three downs, the play clock is only 20 seconds, the defense has to line up a yard back from the line of scrimmage, and the field is about 10% wider and longer - all of which leads to a whole lot more offensive action and risk taking. And less boredom. There are also some random things like twelve players per side and points for missed field goals (WTF?). But I'll take the package over the NFL any day. Except I could really use the Packers in the CFL since only the Packers matter. Whatever, the important lesson is that Stamps Suck Shit.

I am not a very big football fan but the Eskimo's can be a good team. They have had some recent…read moreseasons that disappointed many people but they are exciting as any other team and can probably win the cup in the near future. The Calgary vs Edmonton games are great to watch and even better to attend. If have never been to a game you should definitely put it on your to do list because it's quite the time. Especially when it's a rivalry game. The crowd gets so into and the atmosphere is awesome. Like I said, I am not a big fan but I enjoy attending the games.

You know when you're in Edmonton you have to be a hockey fan.

The Oil Kings are geared towards a fun family night out. Not only is it good hockey (which is great if you are into the game) but they have lots of entertaining things happening throughout the game as well. They have fun little games, the T-shirt throws, the wave (who doesn't like that), sing-a-longs etc. The team also encourages lots of community involvement. We have gone with our hockey team and the kids have played on the ice, we've seen other teams there as the honour guard, and bench warming. It's so much fun to be part of the action. Every year the Oil Kings also does the teddy bear toss which raises both funds and teddy bears for Ronald McDonald House and it shows their community spirit which is fantastic to see in a local sports club. If you have never been out to a game I would say take advantage of their pricing - it's a great night out for a club or a family. While you might not be able to afford to go to an Oilers game you can definitely afford to the go to an Oil Kings game - same action and so much more fun for kids and families.

The Edmonton Oil Kings are a Western Hockey League team that started in Edmonton for the 2007-08…read moreseason. The Western Hockey League is the top junior league in Western Canada and is a part of the Canadian Hockey League. This is the second best hockey you'll get in Edmonton, next to the Edmonton Oilers. But for the price, the Oil Kings are of much better value. Both teams play at Rexall Place, and an Oilers seat that will cost you $200, will cost you about $25 for an Oil Kings game. Although it isn't top tier hockey, it is fast-paced and high energy because the players are trying to get drafted into the NHL and impress the scouts who are always paying attention. The Oil Kings sell themselves as being family-oriented hockey (probably because most people can afford to bring family to a game) so it is a totally different atmosphere than an Oilers game. There are a lot of games going on during the TV time outs that are geared towards kids. The club also has a lot of promotional nights to draw people in, such as Wiener Wednesdays ($2 weenies!), vuvuzela nights, 80s nights, and they will often give away merch to the first 1000 people through the door. We were at a game the other night and the Oil Kings scored five goals, so everyone got a $10 Earl's gift card in their way out. If you are looking to catch a quality hockey game and either can't get Oilers tickets or just want to spend less, the Oil Kings are a great option. It can be a fun night with friends if you don't want to splurge on the Oilers. Tickets range from $17-$35, plus service charge.

You get a few hours of fun and the game may seem complicated but if you check out the rules it is actually pretty simple. Each team has a Jammer indicated by a star on their helmet. Those players score points by passing people on the track. Only the Jammer in the lead gets the points. Games are quite exciting as it is faced paced and very active. These women and men are very athletic! The games are licensed so you can enjoy some bevvies. There is also food things to buy. They often do baked goods or canteen food. There are also merchandise tables to buy roller derby associated goods. At the last game we were at they even had a massage therapist doing free 5 minute chair massages. So come out and try something new and have some fun. Support some local athletes and have a unique date!
