Hockey fans across Alberta are buzzing with excitement this afternoon after stunning news out of Rogers Place: former Edmonton Oilers head coach and legendary architect Glen Sather has officially returned to the organization, this time as a Senior Coaching Advisor.

The Oilers confirmed the announcement during a surprise press conference, sending shockwaves through the hockey world. Sather, who famously guided the team to five Stanley Cup championships during the 1980s dynasty years, is set to rejoin the Oilers’ bench in an advisory capacity, working closely with the coaching staff and front office.

“It feels like coming home,” Sather told reporters, smiling as fans chanted his name. “I’ve always had the Oilers in my heart. I’m excited to help this group find the same kind of success we built years ago.”

Team captain Connor McDavid called the move “a huge boost” for the locker room. “Having someone like Glen around — with his history, knowledge, and winning mindset — is unbelievable for us,” McDavid said.

According to sources close to the team, Sather’s role will focus on mentoring coaches, advising on player development, and fostering a championship culture.

Fans flooded social media within minutes of the announcement, with hashtags like #WelcomeBackSather and #OilersDynastyRevival trending across Canada.

The Oilers are set to hold a special “Glen Sather Night” later this week at Rogers Place to honor his legacy and celebrate his return.

As one fan shouted outside the arena:

“The dynasty spirit is back in Edmonton — and so is Glen Sather!”
