Welcome to the web site dedicated to NHL fans who are not Oiler fans first but are working "BEHIND ENEMY LINES" in OIL COUNTRY!

This website is dedicated to NHL hockey fans in "THE PATCH" who choose to cheer for NHL teams other than the Edmonton Oilers! Even while working and / or living in Oil Country!

Though we're fans and live and work in Oil Country it doesn't mean we bleed Oiler's Copper & Blue! Though many of us will cheer on the Oil on occasion, the hope that our "real favourite team" wins Lord Stanley's Cup is what we truly hope for! But should the Oil win the Cup before my Canucks... I will gladly party on Whyte Ave.
