Edmonton Oilers
by K. Michael Gaschnitz
Paperback from McFarland
ISBN: 0786412526
The Edmonton Oilers have been one of the most successful and exciting
hockey teams during the last twenty years. Led in their glory days by Wayne
Gretzky, Mark Messier, Paul Coffey, Jari Kurri, Glenn Anderson, and Grant
Fuhr, it is not surprising that the Oilers won five Stanley Cups in seven
years.
This work is a history of the Edmonton Oilers from 1979, the year the
team joined the National Hockey League, through the 2000-2001 season. The
first part details each of the Oilers' seasons and provides complete regular
and postseason scoring and goal-tending statistics for each season. The
second part presents an alphabetical listing of every player to wear an
Oilers uniform and his statistics while playing for the team. There are
also sections on the Oilers' seven years in the World Hockey Association
before joining the NHL, team transactions, drafts, player awards, team
milestones and records, summaries of all five of the Stanley Cup-winning
games, and the Sky Reach Center, home of the Oilers. |
