Meet lovely ladies of Oilers Octane, Canada's 1st NHL cheer squad

The Edmonton Oilers have officially unleashed Oilers Octane on our buttoned-up, traditionalist neighbours to the north, who are no doubt flooding the Rexall Place switchboard demanding those hemlines should be longer or that the women should be wearing sensible shoes instead of sexy go-go boots or ...

... aw, who are we kidding? Braving the Albertan winter for professional hockey, and a lovely girl-next-door dressed like a stewardess on a 1979 Oilers team charter greets you at the arena? And that's before watching Taylor Hall(notes) in regulation and Linus Omark(notes) in the shootout? Sign us up.

The Octane team has a page full of biographies and photos of the cheer squad members; and while we'd never judge what is, after all, in the eye of the beholder ... well, suffice it to say we're still partial to the Dallas Stars ice girls and their Lake Day adventures. To each their own.

So the petitions did nothing and the anti-cheer forces have been pom-pom'd into defeat. From the Oilers:

The Edmonton Oilers announced today the launch of the first-ever Canadian NHL Cheer Team called the Oilers Octane. The Oilers Octane consists of 19 women aged 18-29 who competed with over 100 talented dancers to earn a spot on Octane, to meet the team visit www.oilersoctane.com. In addition to performing at Oilers home games, helping with promotions and interacting with fans, the Cheer Team will soon begin participating in charity fund raising and special events throughout Oil Country acting as ambassadors for Edmonton and your Oilers Hockey Club.



We need some bitches dancing with Fin :D

Heard about that on the radio this morning. Awesome :D

Closest the Canucks have is the girls in tight clothing who clean the ice.

Apparently the Dallas Stars have had them for a while: http://stars.nhl.com/club/gallerylanding.htm?id=8772

i remember seeing cheerleaders for some european hockey team one or two winter olympics ago.
i thought they looked so out of place.
but i'm all for more girls dancing around in skimpy outfits

Chicago and Carolina have them as well

the teams from the south have wayy hotter chicks though.

There are LA Kings girls, that was my first hockey game... and when I attended my first Canucks game, I was like WTF? there are no Vancouver girls?

I dunno - call me old fashioned, but cheerleaders belong on football fields and basketball courts. :p

only one i like

They just might be able to land some free agents now.

Can't agree with you more :thumbsup:

I mean the eye candy is fine, i'm not complaining, but this gimmick only belongs in non-Hockey cities that need help attracting fans.

in for montreal cheerleaders

oh no, we can't have pretty girls out in that freezing cold stadium! it's going to be hard but i think i can manage with warming up the entire squad with sex. maybe give them a popsicle after if they do a good job. get some icing on their face, use the popsicle to smear it around. get the oilers octane squad oiled up before their debut. then stick my canucks whale penis in there.

self nominated as sickest post ever on RS.

hockey market cities dont neccessarily have to have cheerleaders, but some god damn female ice scrappers would be nice. its a sign davie street is engulfing vancouver when we have Guys scrapping our ice.

23 Teams in the NHL have Cheerleaders, pretty much only the Canadian teams do not.

Canucks are above cheerleaders.

dumb, when it comes to hockey i dont care about girls.... not even the milf i saw yesterday at the game with her nipples sticking out her white t shirt k?

well when your team sucks that bad you need something to keep fans entertained

nhl cheerleaders should be on skates not shoes on carpet

a few of them are only 87 grade

At least we have those Mikes Hard Lemonade girls scraping the ice at games.
