Canada hopes eighth time a charm as nation seeks first Stanley Cup in a generation
EDMONTON – Here we go again. From B.C. to all points north and east, Canadian hockey fans are hoping the nation's Stanley Cup nightmare-drought ends as the Edmonton Oilers host the Florida Panthers in the NHL final. This year's Cup clash comes with a bit more patriotic fervour than usual given U.S. President Donald Trump recently launching a tariff war north of the 49 parallel while dismissing Canada as a freeloading sidekick that should gratefully trade in its Maple Leaf for the Stars and Stripes. A cross-country check of fans suggests even if the Oilers aren't everyone's first choice, they'll do for now. 'I think every Canadian should be cheering for the Oilers now,' fan Julian Bourgoin said, calling the Oilers his go-to team after the hometown Senators. 'I've always wanted a Canadian team to win, and the Oilers are the last one, so I'm hanging my Gretzky jersey high and I'm flying it till they win.' In Toronto, home of the blue-clad Maple Leafs, fan Ashley Winter said at the end of the day the red Maple Leaf trumps all. 'Canada has to win hockey. That's our game,' said Winter. Longtime transplanted westerner Bruce Jones agreed it's time to go Oiler. 'I lived out west for many years in the Calgary area and I was anti-Oiler but right now it's the Oilers,' Jones said. 'With all the turmoil that's going on right now, it adds to our national pride,' he added. 'We haven't won since '93.' It was June 9, 1993, when the Montreal Canadiens became the last Canadian team to hoist the NHL championship trophy, defeating ex-Oiler Wayne Gretzky and his Los Angeles Kings in the deciding Game 5. That year saw three prime ministers: Brian Mulroney, Kim Campbell and Jean Chrétien. The TV show 'Seinfeld' was reaching its artistic apex and the big-screen dinosaur epic 'Jurassic Park' debuted. Don't ask the current Oilers for memories of 1993. The longest-serving current player, forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, wasn't even two months old. Veteran superpest Corey Perry was eight. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl weren't even born. In the three or so decades since, Canadian teams have won participation ribbons in seven Cup finals, starting with Vancouver in 1994, then Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Vancouver, Montreal and then Edmonton again when the Oilers lost in seven games last spring to the Panthers. Stanley, meanwhile, has travelled the continental United States from Los Angeles to Boston, from south Florida to Las Vegas, with stops in Dallas, Denver, Detroit, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Anaheim, North Carolina, New York and New Jersey. In Edmonton, at the epicentre of the Cup quest outside the Oilers' home rink of Rogers Place, crews kept busy this week readying the outdoor plaza where fans will gather on game nights to watch the play on a big screen. Longtime Oilers fan Paul Huang, in an orange and blue hoodie, said he runs an online chat group that includes hockey parents from all over Canada. 'We all cheer for Canada (and) for the Oilers at this moment,' Huang said. 'We're the only one left.' Oilers fan Jason McCarthy said he has a brother and a friend flying in from Ottawa to go to the games. McCarthy said the visitors are Montreal Canadiens fans, but said for now it's Canada first. 'Most people I talk to — even in Montreal — the Oilers are their second favourite team, and the No. 1 team left right now,' McCarthy said. 'I even know for a fact in Montreal there are signs around the city cheering on the Oilers.' Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. Farther west, in Victoria, resident Olivia Robinson, who is originally from Edmonton, said she'll be tuning in to the series, but not necessarily to see Trump's U.S.A. get humbled. 'I think hockey is Canada's game, so I'd like them to win because of that, but not in particular (because of trade tensions),' Robinson said. Robinson said the Oilers have to a 'certain extent' become Canada's team, but added, 'I think because they are winning, everybody wants them as Canada's team now.' — with files from Lisa Johnson in Edmonton, Wolfgang Depner in Victoria, Sarah Ritchie in Ottawa and Noah Trenton in Toronto This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 4, 2025.

'Home away from home': Edmonton Oilers fans flock to Trolley 5 to watch Stanley Cup Final
Article content Waitstaff hustled to find seats for their customers, but people were patient, jovial even. Dressed in orange and blue jerseys — the colours of the Edmonton Oilers — it was shaping up to be a promising night. Article content Article content It's the first game of the Stanley Cup Final and the Oilers are set to play against the Florida Panthers. For longtime fans of the Oilers, this marks an especially emotional milestone — and the best place in town to celebrate? Trolley 5 Brewpub. Article content Article content 'It makes you feel like you're home,' Heather Johnstone said. Article content Article content Having grown up in Edmonton, Johnstone said she has always been an Oilers fan and brought her friends Dominique Mellafont and Jordan Aravena into the fold recently. The three sat in a corner on the first floor of the pub, all wearing Oilers colours, snacking on wings and beers. Article content It was Aravena's idea to watch the game at the pub, having watched the playoffs there a month ago. 'It was just full of energy,' she said. 'Like nothing you've ever seen before in a bar. Everyone's cheering, everyone's friends with each other. Just unbelievable energy.' Article content For Johnstone, the idea of watching the game at a bar surrounded by other Oilers lends a nostalgic comfort to the experience. 'It gives Oilers fans confidence to come out,' she said. 'I don't usually wear my jersey out there, unless I'm surrounded by other Oilers. Article content Article content 'We're like a family.' Article content Article content Trolley 5 has in recent years become an unofficial haven for Oilers fans in a city renowned for its loyalty towards the Calgary Flames, the Oilers' longtime rival. With reservations made more than two weeks out, the pub is often packed on nights when the games are on, with goers boldly dressed in their jerseys, cheering the team on on televisions hanging from every corner. Article content Walking into the pub Wednesday would find waitstaff wearing the jerseys and blue pom poms placed on the tables for customers on the upper floor. Article content Pub owner Ernie Tsu wore his own jersey and cap. He's a fan of both the Oilers and the Flames, he said. 'I was born and raised in (Calgary), but I love my province, it's as simple as that.'

NHL commish bullish on bargaining and new barn for Flames
The NHL and the players' union have a little more than a year to shake hands on a new collective bargaining agreement. And talks are going well, said league commissioner Gary Bettman ahead of the first game of the Stanley Cup Final at Rogers Place Wednesday. Article content 'No comparison,' answered Bettman when asked how the current negotiation process stacks up against previous CBA talks. 'I think we are having a very constructive, professional dialogue. We started a little bit later than we had anticipated for a variety of reasons on both sides, so I don't have an announcement to make today that we have a deal. But we have more than a year to go, and I think we're in really good shape, having really good discussions.' Article content Article content The league has had relative labour peace since 2012-13, when a lockout wiped out about half of the regular season. Article content Article content There have been some rumblings that the taxation disparities between the various provinces and states could become a CBA issue, as some franchises (cough, Montreal) have to pass on higher tax bills to their players than teams that play in relative tax havens for professional sports (cough, Florida). Bill Daly, the league's deputy commissioner and head legal counsel, said that it's not really a major blip on the NHL radar. Article content 'Certainly it's an issue that some of our franchises have raised as a concern,' said Daly. 'I guess what I'd say at this point is that we don't share the level of concern that they have, and what I'd say on top of that is that these imbalances have existed forever. There's nothing new here.' Article content Daly said there are so many factors that play into where free agents decide to sign, from a team's winning culture, the coaching staff, to the facilities and the club's reputation when it comes to how players are treated. See, Detroit Red Wings of the 1990s and 2000s who had no trouble attracting free agents to a city that was in an economic freefall. Article content Article content And to take the analogy just a little bit further, but who in the world sees Manchester as a luxury destination? Last time we looked Manchester City had a roster filled with international superstars. Article content Article content Florida Panthers general manager Bill Zito spoke to this ahead of Game 1. He bristled when asked if Florida's advantageous tax rate gave the Panthers a skate up on other teams. He pointed instead to the US$65-million new practice facility that opened in 2024, the commitment from ownership to build a winner, year in and year out. Article content 'I think the players have understood just how much we've been empowered by ownership to try to do the right things,' Zito said. Article content 'I think the tax thing is marginal at best. I think the real reasons are that we're trying to figure out ways to do our best to try to win.' Article content Bettman big on Calgary Article content With Bettman doing his state-of-the-league talk in Edmonton, there is no escaping the comparisons between Rogers Place and the Ice District to the plans down the highway in Calgary. Construction has begun on Scotia Place, which is set to host Flames games starting in 2027-28. The province contributed $330 million to the project, the City of Calgary is throwing in $537.3 million.
