The complete story of the Edmonton Oilers--from Wayne Gretzky and the dynasty years, to Connor McDavid and the future, and everything in between. When the Edmonton Oilers joined the NHL in 1979, the team owner, Peter Pocklington, proclaimed they would win their first Stanley Cup within five years. A bold statement that turned out to be half right: they not only won the Cup in 1984, but won it four more times over the next six years, forging one of the most dominant dynasties ever. The Oilers have always been a team of determination--fast scoring, hard hitting, and creative hockey that has earned them loyal fans across North America. The team has faced adversity, both on and off the ice. As a small market team, the Oilers have struggled to compete in the NHL, but always found a way. From the biggest trade in history that saw the Great One leave for L.A., to the eleventh hour negotiations that kept the team in Edmonton with a cadre of thirty-seven passionate owners--there is no club like it. And now with super star Connor McDavid leading the roster there's never been greater promise for the future. With forty years of NHL action to celebrate, acclaimed sports writer Lorna Schultz Nicholson takes a journey back to the Oiler's phenomenal highs and challenging lows, the larger than life characters and amazing records, to tell the remarkable story of the hardest working club in the game. Fully illustrated with rare and exciting images, and published in full partnership with the Edmonton Oilers, this is the must have book for Oilers fans, and hockey fans, everywhere.

This beautifully designed picture book helps you develop grit. Grit is a term used to describe the ability to persevere and stay focused on long-term goals, even in the face of challenges or setbacks. It is often seen as a key factor in success and is believed to be more important than talent or intelligence in predicting achievement. People with grit are able to bounce back from failures, set clear goals for themselves, and maintain a strong work ethic even when things get difficult. They are also more resilient and able to handle stress and adversity better than those who lack grit. Grit can be developed over time through practice and experience. It involves developing a growth mindset, which means believing that abilities can be improved through effort, and adopting a proactive approach to problem-solving and goal-setting. Research has shown that grit is related to a variety of positive outcomes, including better grades in school, higher levels of career success, and even better physical health. It is a valuable trait to cultivate in oneself and can be a powerful predictor of success in life. Please write a review of this book and share with friends! :)
