In an incredible show of generosity and community spirit, Edmonton Oilers CEO Jeff Jackson has announced a special “$5 Ticket Day” at Rogers Place, giving thousands of low-income families the chance to experience live NHL hockey — many for the very first time.
The initiative, hailed by fans as “the most generous gesture in the team’s history,” aims to make live sports accessible to everyone, not just long-time season ticket holders. Under the program, a large block of seats for select home games will be sold at just $5 each, allowing families, students, and underprivileged youth to feel the electric atmosphere of an Oilers game up close.
> “Hockey belongs to everyone in this city,” Jackson said. “This is about giving back to the community that has supported the Oilers through every high and low.”
The announcement has sparked an outpouring of support on social media, with fans praising the Oilers’ leadership for putting people before profit and for setting an example for other major sports organizations.
Community groups across Edmonton are already coordinating to help distribute tickets fairly among families in need.
As excitement builds, one thing is clear — this initiative isn’t just about hockey. It’s about hope, unity, and hometown pride.
🎟️ Tickets go live soon — and they’re expected to sell out within minutes!
