In 1971, the Oilers were officially founded by W. D. ‘Wild Bill’ Hunter and Dr. Chuck Allard. The Oilers played their first season in 1972, and were one of 12 founding franchises of the major professional World Hockey Association (WHA).
Originally, the Oilers were intended to be one of two Alberta teams of the WHA, together with the Calgary Broncos. But, after Calgary relocated to become the Cleveland Crusaders prior to the beginning of the WHA’s first season, the team was renamed the Alberta Oilers.
They ended up going back to their current team name the following season, and then joined the National Hockey League in 1979 as one of four organizations absorbed through the NHL and WHA merger. The Edmonton Oilers home games are now played at Rogers Place. The 18,500 seat capacity multi-use indoor arena opened in 2016.
