HOME OF OILERS CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS SLATED FOR DEMOLITION

For years the Edmonton Coliseum was a hockey shrine where some of the best players and teams who ever played the game were lauded and applauded. The Oilers were perennial champions who helped put Edmonton on the glocal map. Today's Oilers still have some of the best players but they ply their skills elsewhere while the Edmonton Coliseum sits as an empty shell of memories and drain on the Edmonton taxpayers. After years City Council is once again having to discuss budgeting millions for demolishing the building whose time has passed.
