## Resource

The Edmonton Oilers just pulled off one of the NHL’s most eyebrow-raising hires: Mike Babcock, the fiery ex-coach who walked away from the league in 2019, is now their new head coach. After months of circling Bruce Cassidy — who was still coaching the Golden Knights in the playoffs — the Oilers pivoted hard, seemingly ignoring the clock and opting for Babcock’s controversial, high-intensity style. With owner Daryl Katz and his son personally on board, plus star players like McDavid and Draisaitl in the mix, this isn’t just a coaching change — it’s a high-stakes gamble. Critics question whether Babcock’s old-school tactics fit today’s game, but the Oilers are betting big on results — and the whole league is watching to see if “The Babcock Zone” delivers.
