The Battle of Alberta between the Edmonton Oilers and the Calgary Flames has always been fierce, but there are times when mutual respect prevails over competition. Recently, the Oilers made a statement that was both respectful and commendable about their Alberta rivals.
The Edmonton Oilers congratulated the Calgary Flames on securing their own community infrastructure, which includes a new arena, funded by CSE and the Alberta government. The project also includes enhancements to public infrastructure, such as transit, utilities, and other support facilities.
The Oilers took this opportunity to highlight the success of the ICE District, which has brought the community together. It is laudable to see teams invest in public works projects, demonstrating their commitment to their fans and the community. It appears that Calgary is finally catching up to this trend.
