The city of Edmonton is buzzing with excitement as the Edmonton Oilers officially announce the return of legendary coach Todd McLellan. After years away from the bench, McLellan is coming back — this time to take on the senior coaching role, bringing renewed hope and high expectations to the team and its devoted fan base.
McLellan, who first coached the Oilers from 2015 to 2019, is remembered for helping the team break its playoff drought and shaping the early careers of stars like Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. His return marks what many are calling a “homecoming of passion, purpose, and unfinished business.”
> “I’m coming back to take this team to the place it truly belongs — the top,” McLellan told reporters during his official unveiling at Rogers Place. “Edmonton has always felt like home to me. I know what this city expects, and I’m ready to give everything to bring the Stanley Cup back here.”
Team insiders say McLellan’s experience, leadership, and familiarity with Edmonton’s culture made him the perfect choice for this new era. The Oilers’ management described the move as part of a long-term strategy to reignite the team’s championship ambitions.
Fans across Canada are already flooding social media with messages of excitement and nostalgia, celebrating McLellan’s return and sharing highlights from his previous tenure.
As the Oilers prepare for their next game, one thing is clear — Edmonton is electrified once again. With Todd McLellan back behind the bench, hopes are soaring that this will finally be the season when the Oilers reclaim their glory and chase down that long-awaited
Stanley Cup.
