Cape Breton Oilers
February 22, 2019
The Edmonton Oilers kept their top farm team in Atlantic Canada from 1984 to 1996. From the 1984 to 1988 the American Hockey League club was known as the Nova Scotia Oilers and played out of the Halifax Metro Centre. In 1988 to the team moved 195 miles east to the community of Sydney on Cape Breton Island. In their 12 seasons in Nova Scotia, the Baby Oilers won only four playoff series. Fortunately they won them all in the same season, ripping off a spectacular 14-2 record en route to the 1993 Calder Cup championship.
