Hey, it's Bob Stauffer. I just wanted to let you know that you can listen to Oilers Now ad-free on Amazon Music, included with Prime. Joining you in the city's south side in the 880 Chid building, Cora Sedmonton, and this is Oilers Now, jam-packed edition. And yes, it was a stellar day in oil country. Today, the National Hockey League, the NHLPA, with contributions from the federal government, the provincial government, the municipal government, support from various different agencies confirmed. Alberta, Edmonton and Calgary hosting one of the pools in the upcoming 2028 World Cup, with Edmonton getting the semifinal and finals of the World Cup. Awesome. For those of us that went to Montreal for the Four Nations face-off, it was incredible.
It was a great event. But the World Cup of Hockey is going to be a bigger deal than that. And it's going to be special. And we're going to have it right here in oil country. And, man, oh, man, what a run. What a run. I mean, we've had back-to-back runs from the Edmonton Oilers into the Stanley Cup Final. And, you know, losing in 7 and 24, losing in 6 last year. This August, we've got the Holenka Gretzky, which is a terrific sort of U18 tournament. And then...
How did Edmonton and Calgary win the bid to co-host the 2028 World Cup of Hockey?
In December and January of 25, sorry, 26 slash 27, Edmonton and Red Deer host the World Junior Championship. And now in February of 28, Edmonton and Calgary co-hosting together the World Cup of Hockey. Awesome news, to say the least. The premier of the province of Alberta, Danielle Smith, who, of course, was on these airwaves here in 880 Ched back in the 630 Ched days. In fact, she preceded my show, our show, Oilers Now, but when the show was noon to 2 at that time and Danielle was on 9 to 12, we'll have a sit-down conversation with Danielle. Coming up in about six... Seven minutes time. We'll also tell you that we'll have our farm report for Equus today with Bakersfield head coach Colin Schoch.
