When did Cam Moon become an Oilers fan?
hey it's bob stoffer i just wanted to let you know that you can listen to oilers now ad free on amazon music included with prime all right uh this text comes in from haji it's 4 34 we're having some fun today about when did you become an oilers fan oh my this all right no this has been trumped no pun intended i gotta read this text i now have verification that this actually occurred this is unreal okay This is, this is how the new world works. Uh, Holy cow. You're not going to believe this. All right. All Lee has texted us on the Ashley five, fours text line out of Calgary. He says, Bob, the night, the owners won their fourth cup. We had our grade 12 graduation ceremonies. Gretzky's brother, Glenn was in our graduation class, uh,
Gretzky's parents came to the ceremony, and once Glenn received his certificate, they jetted for North End's Coliseum. We all went into Jasper Avenue to party it up after for Molly. All right, that sounds like a BS story, except I just text Glenn Gretzky, okay? And I asked him, did you graduate from high school in Edmonton? And he goes, yes, Ross Shep. So this is crazy. I never knew that. I never had any idea. Never had any idea that Glenn Gretzky graduated. So you learn a new thing every day. There you go. We got another one here in Texas. We're going to go to Haji, and then Aiden's got one, and then we'll bring aboard Cam Moon. Bob, 1979, I was just dipping my toe into the NHL. I wasn't yet worldly, and the Hudson Bay Hunters of the Pasqua Hockey League was the extent of my hockey knowledge.
Then my friend showed up at school with a white jersey encrusted with a funny-looking C on the front and the number 10 on the back, L.A. Flower. I proclaimed quizzically, Nola Fleur, he exclaimed. I promptly waited for my dad to tie up my Lang skates And then I leaned over and dad said, I want a LaFleur jersey.
What memorable moments does Cam share about the Oilers' championships?
His facial expression, says Haji, was quite something. Turned into anger and he said, your grandfather was an orangeman who fought in the World War II. He would not haunt us if you cheered for Montreal draft dodging. This is Haji's text. He says... I did not understand the next day a blue and orange number 99 jersey was perfectly folded on my hockey bag. Dad said, son, this will be, this is a 1979 with Haji, this will be the best player in the world. And someday very soon you'll be in awe of this Gretzky kid. Dad wasn't wrong. Although as we currently sit in 2026, ole, ole, ole, ole is much more profound than the Oilers. Let's go Oilers, clap, clap. All right, one more. That's a great story. So, I mean, I don't know about the whole thing.
Well, we know for a fact that conscription crisis was a real event in Canadian history. Aidan, we're going to give you the final word before we find out when Cam Moon officially became an Oilers fan. But fire off another text for us on the Ashley Pine Forest text line.
For sure. This one's from Aaron and Hannah. I was given a portable mini radio for Christmas in 1993, six years old. One night I was scanning the radio channels and was captivated by the call of Rod Phillips, instantly drawn in and tuned into every game I could from my bed. I'll never forget those iconic calls.
All right. Well, and again, I had the privilege of – maybe I led Rod into an early retirement in his final two years. You can text us at 780-451. We're going to – I can't believe that Ali – so I actually text Glenn to make sure. Did you graduate from high school and everything? He goes, yeah, Ross Shepard, 88. Oh, my God. What are the chances?
How did the Oilers' 1981 playoff series impact fandom?
Small world. Let's bring him aboard. Cam Moon. We're going to talk about Road to the Cup brought to you by Sentinel Storage. Try four weeks free. Visit sentinelstorage.ca for details. Yeah, we'll get to Ole, Ole, Ole in a second, Cam. You're an Edmonton guy, north side. I was a poor guy from the south side. The poorest of all my friends. Poor guy from the south. That's like jumbo shrimp. Anyways, the poorest kid in all of urban skin. Okay. No question about it. Back in the early 1980s. And for me, the 81 playoff series up to the Montreal just, and I know the orders had been in the league 79, 80, 80, 81, but they became legitimate when they swept the Canadians in three straight.
