All-Star Series

For a lengthy stretch during the 1980s, the Edmonton Oilers were the greatest show on ice, boasting a roster so talented that Stanley Cups became a foregone conclusion. With names like Gretzky, Messier, Kurri, Coffey, Lowe, Anderson and Fuhr wearing the oil drop on their chests,  Edmonton’s best often came to dominate the NHL’s annual All-Star festivities. Even after those superstars packed their bags and moved on, Oilers have continued to represent the organization at the run-and-gun exhibition. Players such as Doug Weight, Tommy Salo, Janne Niinimaa and Eric Brewer are just a few  of the high-profile names that have continued a long tradition in Edmonton.
