There are just 11 forwards at Edmonton Oilers’ head coach Kris Knoblauch’s disposal, but there are 18 available bodies.

On Sunday, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins played his 1,000th game with the Edmonton Oilers.

This really looked like it was going to be the one. Nine times this season, the Edmonton Oilers have won back-to-back games. Not once have they managed to extend that into a three-game winning streak. After two commanding wins last weekend, 6-0 on the road against the Vancouver Canucks and 5-0 at home versus the…

Today, we’re going to play a roster-building game based on a relatively straightforward question: Which goalie can make the best six-man team out of players who scored their first career goal against them? That’s it. Nice and simple. But first, a few ground rules™: - Each squad will be made up of three forwards, two defensemen and a goalie. Other than that, position won’t matter. - The forwards and defensemen must have all scored their first career goals against the same goaltender. That goali...

As someone who has been doing radio for a number of years, I tend to listen to commercials more than I should probably admit. It's not the messaging that I'm interested in nor the product being sold, but it's how the commercial is selling the product that catches me. I say this because hockey games on the radio have a lot of time where commercials can be run, and companies need to have effective messaging for their advertisement to be catchy. In preapring commercials for sponsors of the 2026 F...

If there's one thing that I enjoy more than anything when doing radio, it's participating at live events. Live radio has a certain unpredictability to it that is unlike anything else except for live television, and it's that unpredictability that makes covering events a bit of a thrill. It is with great honour that UMFM has been invited to cover the 2026 Female World Sport School Challenge once again, and we are proud to working with the great people at Balmoral Hall School to bring these broa...

The Edmonton Oilers will roll seven defensemen against the New Jersey Devils, and it’s not by choice. With Kasperi Kapanen injured again and Leon Draisaitl tending to a personal family matter in Germany, the Oilers have no cap space to call anyone up from Bakersfield.
