Roil Rundown: The End of This Chapter The Edmonton Oil Kings season didn’t just end, it was cut short. Now, the focus shifts to what comes next. But before turning the page, it’s worth taking a look back at the season that was.

Quick correction on my #OilKings season recap:
Andrew O’Neill is also committed to the University of North Dakota (2026–27) and has now been added to the NCAA section.

For anyone expecting a regularly scheduled Roil Rundown today, I regret to inform you that it has been delayed due to tonight's #OilKings and Tigers game. Keep your eyes peeled for a special Wednesday Rundown tomorrow evening.

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.

Roil Rundown: Tested, Not Topped Another week is in the books, but this one came with its share of stumbles and some genuinely scary moments along the way.

Roil Briefing - Lest We Forget This Remembrance Day, the Edmonton Oil Kings take to the ice in Kamloops for their lone meeting of the season with the Blazers. The team arrives riding a five-game winning streak, fresh off a hard-fought 4–3 shootout win against Medicine Hat on Friday night, a win earned through the combined effort of a shorthanded lineup, timely scoring, and another stellar performance from Ethan Simcoe

We remember. We play. We carry the torch. The Oil Kings visit Kamloops this afternoon, winners of five straight - chasing six on a day that means so much more.

A five-goal period. A goalie assist. A few long nights in BC. And a win vs the accursed Hitmen to top it off. That’s what November 7 looked like in #OilKings history 👑 Let’s recollect! #WHL #RoilRecollection

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?

Roil Recollection: Oil Kings History on November 5 Tonight the Oil Kings play the Red Deer Rebels for the first time on this calendar day in their modern history. Trends on this day are three goals and shut outs. Let's manifest a 3-0 win tonight but first...let's recollect!

The #OilKings have never played the Rebels on this date before, but history says this day belongs to 3-goal nights and shutouts.

Let’s manifest a 3–0 win tonight.

But first… let’s recollect ➡️shotgunsportsnetwork.ca/roil-recollection-oil-ki...

It’s seven weeks until Christmas Eve Eve — and while that’s an odd thing to say, it fits a date that’s had some odd results.

A few gifts over the years: a Baddock brace, a Melynk OT hero, and plenty of lessons learned.

🎄 Let’s recollect ➡️

🏆 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. 🎩
