THE WAY I SEE IT Edmonton, Alberta, CAN The 2019-2020 Edmonton Oilers are introduced the fans prior to a game against the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Place. It does, however, conjure up visions of one or two of the trades Peter Chiarelli made here, but I digress. I said, pardon? I can’t think of a situation where a vaccination record or a test result for a sexually transmitted infection would have anything to do with being able to attend a hockey game. “If you’re asking me for my double vaccine requirement, can you ask someone if they got their STI test? Like how far is this going to go? It’s nobody’s business, especially not the government’s, if I’ve been vaccinated or not.” Steele has every right not to spend one thin dime on the Oilers, although I found the way he worded the reasoning behind his decision humorous.

Steele says the OEG’s decision to put in place COVID conditions, as other pro teams are doing, has prompted him to do what the Decade of Darkness didn’t – turn in his tickets.

While it appears at first glance that the majority of people feel the trend of requiring COVID measures is a necessary step, as usual, there’s a very vocal minority speaking out against it, as is their right.Ī comment that caught my attention came via CityNews by somebody named Greg Steele, who claims he’s been an Oilers’ season ticket holder since 1983. Some of the obligatory outrage at the Oilers’ decision to insist on putting in place safety measures after polling their season ticket base is right here on this website, while there’s plenty more of it to be found on social media and in the news cycle. I’m equal parts amused and surprised by some of the reaction I’ve seen to the Oilers Entertainment Group attaching health and safety requirements – proof of COVID vaccinations or a negative COVID test - to attending Edmonton Oilers games at Rogers Place.
