🚀 Edmonton Oil Kings Star Wars Night
📍 Rogers Place
📅 Saturday March 14, 2026
🏷 INDOOR • FAMILY EVENT • THEME GAME
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… hockey met the Force.
One of the most exciting theme nights of the season returns to Rogers Place as the Edmonton Oil Kings host their fan favourite Star Wars Night. Expect the arena to transform with Star Wars music, themed entertainment, character appearances, and interactive moments throughout the game.
Young fans are encouraged to come dressed as their favourite Jedi, Sith, or galactic hero while cheering on the Oil Kings. Between the high energy WHL action and the fun themed atmosphere, this is always one of the most memorable games of the season for families.
What Makes This Game Family Friendly
This isn’t just a regular hockey game.
• Star Wars theme elements throughout the game

• 7:00 PM puck drop.
• Electric crowd without being a late night

It’s the kind of Sunday outing that feels like an event, not just sitting in seats watching a game.
