In 1972 the Alberta Oilers joined the World Hockey Association as a founding member. The team was originally owned by Bill Hunter. Hunter had previously owned the Edmonton Oil Kings and founded what would become the Western Hockey League, but his efforts to bring professional hockey to Edmonton had been rebuffed by the NHL. Originally, the team was named the Alberta Oilers as it was planned to split their home games between Edmonton and Calgary after the Calgary Broncos folded. For various reasons, possibly financial reasons or the possibility of allowing easier expansion of either the NHL or WHA to Calgary, the team played all of its games in Edmonton, and changed their name to reflect this the following year.

The team was not one of the league's more successful on the ice, accumulating a mediocre record until the final WHA season of 1978-79, where, led by future superstar Wayne Gretzky, the Oilers gained a 48-30-2 mark to lead the league in the regular season, but fell to the Winnipeg Jets in the finals. However, the team proved popular with the fans, behind stars such as defenceman and team captain Al Hamilton, star goaltender Dave Dryden and forwards Blair McDonald and Bill Flett.

Alternate logo from away jerseys (1975-79).The original 1972 design featured the traditional colors of blue and orange, but reversed from their more familiar appearance in later seasons, orange being the dominant color and blue used for the trimming. For the first few games of the 1972 season, player names weren't displayed on the uniform; rather the word 'ALBERTA' was written in that space. Once it became clear, however, that the team would play exclusively in Edmonton, the player names made their appearance. These jerseys also featured the player numbers high on the shoulders, rather than on the upper sleeve.

In 1975-1976 the jersey was changed to the more familiar blue base with orange trim, but with some minor differences. The logo that appeared on programs and promotional material remained the same, however the logo that appeared on the home jersey had a white oil drop, on a dark orange field, with the team name written in deep blue. The away jersey featured the orange-printed logo that many mistakenly attribute to the entire history of the WHA Oilers. In every other facet, though, the jerseys were identical to the dynasty-era form that is known throughout the hockey world.

With an incredible core of young players, including Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, and Kevin Lowe, the Oilers made a name for themselves very early, making the Stanley Cup playoffs in only their first season. Although they were swept in three games by the Philadelphia Flyers and their second regular season gave them mediocre results in the standings, the Oilers scored a stunning upset in the first round of the 1981 playoffs, defeating the strongly-favoured Montreal Canadiens three games to none, the Oilers making a case that they needed swift respect. In the 1981-82 season, the Oilers became the league's strongest team in the regular season, but youthful lapses of discipline led to their losing the first playoff round. In 1983 they made it to their first-ever Stanley Cup finals, but were swept in four games by the three-time defending champions, the New York Islanders. A year later, however, Edmonton defeated the Islanders in five games (four to one) to claim their first Stanley Cup.

Oilers NHL Hockey Playoffs Tickets

1990 seemed set to continue the troubles for the Oilers, especially when All-Star and future Hall of Fame goalie Grant Fuhr was charged with possession and use of cocaine. But the team rallied behind new goalie Bill Ranford, and despite finishing third in their division, behind Calgary and Los Angeles, the Oilers made it all the way for the fifth and (to date) final time, once again defeating the Boston Bruins, this time in five games. Ranford won the playoff MVP that year for his brilliant goaltending.

The writing was on the wall however. The Gretzky trade had opened up a new reality of rapidly climbing salaries in the NHL, and small-market teams like Edmonton simply couldn't compete with salaries offered in large U.S. cities. Messier, Jari Kurri, Fuhr, Ranford, and Glenn Anderson all left the team in rapid succession, leaving behind an underdeveloped base of young players. Despite appearances in the Conference Finals in 1991 and 1992, the Oilers were nowhere near the powerhouse that had dominated the previous half-decade. In 1993 the Oilers missed the playoffs for the first time since their inaugural season. They would not return for four years.

Oilers "Rigger" shoulder patch logo, circa 1997.In 1997 the Oilers returned to the Stanley Cup playoffs and emerged victorious again, defeating the Dallas Stars in a seven-game series considered to be one of the most exciting of all time, the final goal coming on a breakaway by Todd Marchant in overtime. Another of the highlights of that playoff series occurred on april 20th. Down 3-0 with just under 4 minutes to go in game #3 of their western conference quarter final match-up against the Dallas Stars, the Edmonton Oilers rally for three goals in the final three minutes of the third period to tie the game and eventually win 4-3 in overtime on Kelly Buchbeger's game-winning goal.

Edmonton Oilers Hockey Playoffs Tickets

Though Edmonton would lose to Colorado in the next round, fans were ecstatic about the Oilers' return to the playoffs. In 1998 Dallas and Edmonton met again, this time in the second round of the playoffs, with Dallas emerging the victor. This has led to one of the most unusual rivalries of all time in hockey: between 1997 and 2003 the Oilers and Stars have played each other in the playoffs six times, five of them first-round matchups. The only year in which they did not meet was 2002, when neither team made the playoffs. In 2004 the streak came to an official end, when Edmonton failed to qualify for the playoff round, while Dallas went on to play the Colorado Avalanche.

Edmonton Oilers Playoffs Tickets

The Oilers have struggled with their small-market status for years as big-market teams scooped up high-priced help. But following the wiped-out 2004-05 NHL season, the Oilers appear poised to compete again. With a league-wide salary cap in place, all teams are placed on a much more equal financial footing, allowing the Oilers to sign two important stars - former league MVP Chris Pronger, and New York Islanders forward Michael Peca - giving fans hope that the team may return to the playoffs, if not to their former glory. So far those hopes have panned out: the Oilers have recovered from a streaky, inconsistent start to sit within a playoff berth into March. The recent additions of goaltender Dwayne Roloson from the Minnesota Wild and forward Sergei Samsonov from the Boston Bruins bring more promise of the Oilers continuing their regular season success into the playoffs and beyond.
