EDMONTON JUNIOR OILERS U18 AAA PROGRAM

Hockey Edmonton and the Edmonton Oilers have unveiled a pinnacle stream program that will revolutionize elite hockey development in Edmonton: the Edmonton Junior Oilers.

Commencing the 2022-23 season, Hockey Edmonton’s two U18 AAA teams will be named the Edmonton Junior Oilers, receiving assistance from the NHL Club in a program that is the first of its kind in Canada. The Edmonton Oilers will provide access to world-class resources for both U18 AAA teams including player and coach development opportunities, facility utilization, apparel and equipment, and social media support. The Edmonton Junior Oilers teams will receive elite player and coach development and promotion guided by Hockey Edmonton’s four pillars of player development: technical-tactical, physical, mental, and life skills. Aiming to foster well-rounded individuals both on and off the ice, Hockey Edmonton will also ensure that academic supports are available to these elite student athletes. Additionally, to ensure that this innovative club hockey program limits barriers to access, the fees will remain affordable and effective for families, compared to other program options offered regionally.
