The Edmonton Oilers have made a major splash in their pursuit of a Stanley Cup championship, hiring veteran coach Mike Babcock to lead the team. This high-profile hire caps off a busy summer for the Oilers, who have been actively retooling their roster in an effort to bring the coveted trophy to Alberta for the first time since 1990. Babcock, a highly respected and experienced coach, brings a wealth of knowledge and a proven track record of success to the Oilers, having led the Detroit Red Wings to a Stanley Cup title in 2008. With the team's talented core of Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and others, the stage is set for a potentially historic season in Edmonton.
