Description
The expansion team Oilers was Wayne Gretzky's first professional hockey home and the Great One led the team to a series of Stanley Cup victories through the 1980s. New generations of Oilers have since tried and failed to recapture the glory years of the dynasty, a legacy that keeps the pressure on. Peter Boer explores the unique history of the Edmonton Oilers.
