 Rogers Place was buzzing with energy this morning as the Edmonton Oilers made a stunning announcement that has the entire hockey world talking. Former goaltending icon and Hall of Famer Grant Fuhr has officially returned to the team — this time, behind the bench — as a Senior Coaching Advisor.

The Oilers organization confirmed the news in a packed press conference, calling Fuhr’s return “a homecoming decades in the making.” Fans erupted in applause as Fuhr stepped onto the stage wearing his trademark smile and an Oilers lapel pin.

“Edmonton will always be home,” Fuhr said. “This team has incredible talent, and I’m excited to help guide them toward another championship.”

Fuhr, who backstopped the Oilers to five Stanley Cups during the dynasty years of the 1980s, is widely regarded as one of the greatest goaltenders in NHL history. His role will focus on mentoring goalies and providing strategic insights to the coaching staff, particularly in high-pressure game situations.

General Manager Ken Holland praised the move, calling it “a vital addition to the coaching family.”

“Grant brings experience, leadership, and a championship mindset. Having him in the locker room again is a massive boost for everyone,” Holland stated.

Fans flooded social media within minutes of the announcement, using hashtags like #FuhrReturns and #OilersFamilyForever.

The Oilers are set to host the Calgary Flames this weekend, and speculation is already swirling that Fuhr might make his debut behind the bench during the highly anticipated Battle of Alberta matchup.

Whether you’re an old-school Oilers fan or new to the game, one thing’s for sure — the legend is back, and Edmonton couldn’t be prouder.
