WHL junior hockey team in Edmonton are the Oil Kings in case anyone is interested.


Hmmm. Actually though, I think that back in the late 70's the Edmonton Oilers were indeed a WHL team. I only recall this because the emergence of the Oilers into the NHL in (79 maybe,) brought with it the emerging legend which was Wayne Gretzky.

WHL then meant World Hockey League (out of which 5 teams merged with the NHL in 79--Oilers, Jets, Nordiques, Whalers and one I cannot remember just now). Jakewash was refering to the Western Hockey League which is of the same caliber as OHL and LHJMQ).

CORRECTION: Actually, it was the World Hockey Association.... (WHA)

Ahhh Gotcha.
I'm an East Coaster so I declare intellectual negligence on that basis.

It's Ok Murph, we understand.

The OHL, LHJMQ and the WHL make up the Canadian Major Junior Hockey league.

Better a Wheat King than an Oil King. Probably the only team in this province that could make me want to go work for a sports team again.

I was familiar with the OHL and Quebec League but the WHL did trip me up.. Here in Atlantic Canada, we have seven teams in the LHJMQ.

Although you made me think twice on that one too because my home province is primarily anglophone, so we call it the reverse "QMJHL or Quebec Major Junior Hockey League" instead of the "Ligue de Hockey Junior Majeur du Quebec."

Crazy French people, always saying everything backwards. ;\)

And there's no such thing as a French death metal song... even the Sex Pistols lose their edge when it's L'Anarchie pour Le U.K. of course, I also don't think it's possible to write a German love song.
