The city is BUZZING, the fans are ROARING, and Rogers Place has NEVER seen energy like this! In a surprise announcement that has stunned the hockey world, legendary coach and architect of the Oilers dynasty, Glen Sather, is officially returning to Edmonton — this time as Senior Coaching Advisor to the team he helped build into champions.
Yes, you read that right. Glen. Freaking. Sather. Is BACK.
The 81-year-old Hall of Famer, who led the Oilers to five Stanley Cups during their golden era in the 1980s, is stepping back into the fold as the franchise looks to rekindle its championship magic. Fans erupted in applause at Rogers Place when the announcement was made on the Jumbotron during a pre-season rally. Chants of “SATHER! SATHER!” shook the arena as Oilers alumni, current stars, and die-hard fans celebrated the homecoming of a legend.
“It’s like bringing back the soul of the team,” said one emotional fan draped in a vintage Gretzky jersey. “This is the best news we could hope for. It FEELS like 1984 all over again.”
Sather, known for his fiery passion, sharp hockey mind, and unmatched ability to build winning rosters, said he’s “honoured to help the team I love” and wants to be “a resource, a mentor, and a spark.”
Inside sources say Sather will be working closely with the coaching staff, management, and even young players to instill the winning culture that made the Oilers a dynasty. And with stars like Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl entering their prime, fans are dreaming BIG.
“The Cup window is WIDE OPEN,” said an anonymous team executive. “And bringing in Sather might be the missing piece.”
Whether you’re a lifelong fan or a newcomer to the Oilers’ story, one thing is clear: the past has returned to inspire the future.
So Oil Country, buckle up. Glen Sather is home. And with him… hope.
