If you're hoping to get to Rogers Place to watch Game 6 on the big screen and don't have a ticket yet, you're out of luck.
The indoor watch party, with ticket proceeds going to the Oilers Community Foundation, is sold out. If you want to get to the Moss Pit, you'll need to line up well ahead of the 6 p.m. face-off time.
But there are other family-friendly options, with free admissions, that are happening in and around the city.

St. Albert seniors cheering on the Oilers with their very own Papa Stanley
Papa Stanley (middle) with Oilers fans at Everitt Gardens, ready to cheer on the team for Game 6 on Tuesday, June 17, 2025. A group of Oilers fans in St. Albert is finding their own unique way to support the team without having to go down to the Ice District. Seniors at Everitt Gardens are known for their Oilers game day videos on TikTok, often dressing up and belting out their best chants. While many people might know Mama Stanley, a local fan donned in silver sequins and paint in the Moss Pit, Ed Wilkins is taking a spin by dressing up too, with his group dubbing him Papa Stanley. 'First of all, I thought they were kidding me and secondly, I thought I was nuts to do it but it's fun.' Wilkins told CTV News Edmonton. His outfit consists of a silver face paint, a sequined T-shirt, a silver top hat with tinsel and a glittery skirt to replicate the Stanley Cup. Wilkins says last year Mama Stanley paid a visit and loved his outfit as well. 'He's such a trooper, he doesn't mind putting on the makeup and he wears our glitter skirt and the glitter top and he gets fully dressed as Papa Stanley,' said Everitt Gardens recreation manager Lori Cary on Tuesday. Cary says it warms her heart to see the seniors build a community during the Oilers playoffs. 'We like to say this is their home and you can really see the love and the fun that they have of shooting these videos and cheering on their favourite team,' she said. She added making TikTok videos to the seniors' recreation calendar for Tuesday afternoons to ensure they kept the spirit going throughout the season. Cary says after Mama Stanley's visit, it was only fair that Papa Stanley make his mark and Wilkins volunteered for the role. Wilkins has no doubt he'll be putting on his silver outfit for a potential Game 7. 'They are a great team, there's no two ways about it.' With files from CTV News Edmonton's Amanda Anderson

Will Taylor Swift be at Game 6 of Stanley Cup Final in Florida?
Article content 'I have a good source claiming that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will be in the house for Game 6,' Redmond said. 'Not confirmed but according to a good source.' However, later in the afternoon she was forced to walk back her statement, joking that she has 'downgraded' her source. My 'good source' has been downgraded to just a 'source' - might've gotten bad info on this. 💀💀🤣🤣 — Jackie Redmond (@Jackie_Redmond) June 16, 2025

From Red Deer to Downtown: Free watch parties for Oilers' Game 6 against Florida Panthers
If you're hoping to get to Rogers Place to watch Game 6 on the big screen and don't have a ticket yet, you're out of luck. Article content The indoor watch party, with ticket proceeds going to the Oilers Community Foundation, is sold out. If you want to get to the Moss Pit, you'll need to line up well ahead of the 6 p.m. face-off time. Article content Article content But there are other family-friendly options, with free admissions, that are happening in and around the city. Article content If you do want to watch the game in an arena atmosphere, and on a giant screen, you could always make the 90-minute drive down south to Red Deer. The doors open at 5:30 p.m. at the Marchant Crane Centrium, where the game will be shown at the home of the Western Hockey League's Red Deer Rebels. Price of admission? A donation of non-perishable goods for the local food bank. Article content Jaiden Foster, an administrative assistant at Westerner Park, said previous watch parties have attracted 150 to 200 fans. Article content 'But we're hoping for a much bigger turnout tomorrow,' she said. Article content And, in a place that's halfway between Edmonton and Calgary, where the NHL loyalties are divided between the Oilers and Flames, are there fans at the Centrium who will be cheering against Edmonton, because it's the most Calgary thing they can do. Let's face it, if we lived in a Bizarro universe where the Flames were in the Cup final, could dyed-in-the-wool Oilers fans bring themselves to cheer for that team in red? Article content Article content 'We bring in a diverse group,' said Foster. 'But the majority of them are Oilers fans.' Article content Article content 'Hoping to get a good one' Article content If Red Deer is too far, the Starlite Room is located Downtown, just a couple of blocks south of the Rogers Place mayhem. The venue is hosting a watch party, doors open at 5:30 p.m., and admission is free. Minors are welcome. The game will be shown on a 16-foot by nine-foot screen. There will be food, drinks, and DJs will play music during breaks in the action. Article content 'We're continuing to do them, hoping to get a good one,' he said. 'If we go to Game 7, I think it will be good. Tomorrow might be OK, hopefully.'
