Oilers Bring NHL to Draisaitl’s Hometown | Edmonton Oilers News

The NHL is bringing hockey to Germany in a big way, with the Edmonton Oilers set to play in Leon Draisaitl’s hometown of Cologne — a deeply personal milestone for the star forward. This isn’t a one-off; it’s part of a three-year commitment to expand the league’s footprint in Germany, building on past successes and aiming to deepen fan connections. The Oilers won’t be alone — the Boston Bruins will also hit Munich, featuring German-born coach Marco Sturm and player J.J. Peterka returning home. These games mark the seventh regular-season NHL match in Germany, continuing a legacy that began in 2011 and signaling hockey’s growing presence in the country.
