In a blockbuster development that’s sending shockwaves through both the NHL and Hollywood, Edmonton Oilers CEO Jeff Jackson has officially confirmed that a group of A-list celebrities has acquired a minority ownership stake in the team — signaling a bold new era for the franchise.

In a press conference held this morning outside Rogers Place, Jackson announced that a star-studded investment group — reportedly including Ryan Reynolds, Drake, Scarlett Johansson, and Matthew McConaughey — has joined forces to become the latest high-profile names to back the red-hot Edmonton Oilers.

“This is more than just an investment,” Jackson said. “It’s a cultural moment for the city, for our fans, and for hockey.”

The move follows a growing trend of celebrity ownership in sports, with Reynolds’ prior involvement in Wrexham AFC serving as a prime example of how star power can revitalize a franchise and supercharge global interest. Insiders say the Oilers deal has been in the works for months, with final agreements signed late last week.

While the exact figures have not been disclosed, sources close to the deal say the group has acquired a 7.5% minority stake in the team, with potential plans to collaborate on global branding, documentaries, community outreach, and youth hockey development initiatives across North America.

Celebrity Reactions Pour In:

🗣 Ryan Reynolds: “This team has heart, history, and Connor McDavid. What else do you need?”

🎤 Drake, seen wearing a custom Oilers jersey on Instagram last night, captioned his story with: “Started from the bottom. Let’s go Oil Country.”

🎬 Scarlett Johansson, a surprise name in the group, hinted at possible film and media collaborations with the franchise. Could an Oilers Netflix doc be in the pipeline?

🏈 Matthew McConaughey added in his classic drawl: “Hockey, baby. It’s about grit. It’s about passion. And the Oilers got both. Alright, alright, alright.”

What’s Next?

With Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl still in their prime and the Oilers chasing that elusive Stanley Cup, the added media power and investment could elevate the team’s international profile in a way no other NHL team has seen before.

The City of Champions just got a little more star-studded.
