Roil Rundown: Earned, Not Given - SHOTGUN SPORTS NETWORK The Edmonton Oil Kings had something to prove this week, and they had to prove it the hard way. In the hunt for a playoff spot, Edmonton didn’t want to back their way in, they didn’t want to rely on…

After falling to Everett and Calgary, the #OilKings answered back, beat the Hitmen, handled Lethbridge, and locked in their playoff spot on their own terms.

Roil Rundown: The Response This week was about response. After coming up short against Medicine Hat in their own building, and getting burned by Moose Jaw on the road, the Oil Kings returned to both matchups with something to prove. Short-handed, banged up, and still searching for lineup stability, Edmonton tightened the details and leaned into a full-team effort. The result was a hard-earned road win in Medicine Hat, followed by an emphatic statement at Rogers Place against the Warriors. Two games, two familiar opponents, and two very different outcomes. This time, the Oil Kings made sure their answer was heard.

They asked the question. Edmonton answered.

After tough road losses to Medicine Hat and Moose Jaw, the #OilKings delivered a response on both fronts with a statement week.

Roil Rundown: When the Road Fights Back The Edmonton Oil Kings kicked off a four-game road trip this week, but it didn’t unfold the way they had hoped. After spending most of the season bending road games to their will, the Oil Kings ran into a stretch where nothing came easy and every building pushed back.

The road finally pushed back.
After bending away buildings to their will all season, the #OilKings ran into a stretch where nothing came easy. Late leads slipped, tempers flared, injuries piled up, and every stop demanded a response.

Turning the Page: December Sets the Table for a 2026 Push As we turn the calendar pages into 2026, the focus naturally shifts toward a strong finish to the regular season and, hopefully, a long spring run once the playoffs arrive.

December was quiet on the surface — but everything underneath shifted.
What stood out to you most as the #OilKings gear up for 2026?

Roil Briefing - Rebels at the Gates The Oil Kings are back in action Wednesday after a wild weekend of games that came with everything you could possibly imagine - dominant wins, wild comebacks, kids calling the shots, and even a Gordie Howe hat trick for good measure.

The Oil Kings are on fire: 22 goals in their last 3 games, 3 straight wins, and a powerplay clicking at 33% in that time. Now the rival Rebels roll into Rogers Place. It’s Wiener Wednesday in The Kingdom, who leaves with the crown?

🏆 We have our first #PowerSaturday winner! 🏒

Max Curran scored on the PP just 0:15 into the 2nd! The closest guess — 8:00-10:00 of the 2nd — came from Jocelyne via Facebook, who wins a Time Escape Edmonton pass for 2! 🎁

Next chance to win: Nov 15 vs Vancouver! 🔥 #OilKings #TheRoilLine

A date so good, the Oil Kings should play it every year 😏

Two wins vs Swift Current, two vs Calgary, and a “hat-trick” of hat-tricks — one of goals, one of helpers, and one of history. 🎩

Roil Briefing - Looking for a Win in The Windy City When most people think of “The Windy City,” they are probably going to think of Chicago, but don’t be fooled into thinking that’s the only windy city there is. Lethbridge has earned its team name as the Hurricanes due to the significant winds that blow through the Southern Alberta city. Tonight, our very own Oil Kings will blow through town looking to put a stop to a losing skid that has seen them drop 4 in a row.

The #OilKings are in the other Windy City tonight — blowing into Lethbridge looking to snap a 4-game skid that’s been anything but lopsided.
With one bounce, this team could turn the tide. Can they shake the storm? 🌬️
