NAIT grads behind the Edmonton Oilers

Gene Principe, Tony Brar, Chelsea Bird and more!

Everyone knows the names Connor McDavid, Leon Draisatl and Stuart Skinner. But they’re not the only ones putting on a show every time the Edmonton Oilers take to the ice.

For every goal scored, every power play killed, every game won, there’s a team responsible for bringing it, and all the analysis, to fans via TV, radio and the web.

Here’s a few of the NAIT grads from the roster responsible for the off-ice magic. Go Oilers!
