Formenton Back With Oilers After Reinstatement | Edmonton Oilers News

Alex Formenton’s return to the NHL with the Edmonton Oilers has ignited debate, fueled by his acquittal in a 2018 sexual assault trial and Hockey Canada’s early reinstatement—while others like Carter Hart and Michael McLeod face delays until 2030. Oilers GM Stan Bowman cited Formenton’s swift clearance as key to the decision, highlighting the team’s history of second chances and belief in players’ ability to redeem themselves. Formenton, eager to prove himself, is already training with teammates ahead of camp on September 15th, as fans and analysts watch closely to see if he can turn the page and contribute positively on and off the ice.
