Summary
Cal Nichols, a titan of Edmonton’s community and the Oilers’ survival, passed away this weekend — leaving behind a legacy of unwavering dedication. In the late 90s, he rallied investors to save the team from relocation, then led the Edmonton Investors Group for a decade, guiding the Oilers’ 2008 ownership transition. A self-made entrepreneur who started his first business at 19 and served as a town councillor by 23, Nichols embodied integrity and vision. His impact was honored with the Order of Canada, Alberta Business Hall of Fame induction, and Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal — and he co-founded the Alberta Enterprise Group. Until his final days as a season ticket holder, Nichols lived his dream: keeping hockey home in Oil Country. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
