Oilers Set to Hire Babcock

The Edmonton Oilers are reportedly poised to hire Mike Babcock as their next head coach, with the NHL’s review process now complete — clearing the way for contract talks and a potential official announcement early next week. Babcock, a Stanley Cup and Olympic gold medalist with over 700 wins, hasn’t coached since 2019-20, after stepping down from the Blue Jackets amid controversy over inappropriate conduct. With the league’s green light in hand, the Oilers are ready to move forward — and fans are eager to see if Babcock can finally deliver the championship they’ve been chasing.
