Babcock is the new Edmonton coach.

The Edmonton Oilers, a professional hockey team in the NHL, have named Mike Babcock as their new head coach. Babcock previously won an NHL championship with the Detroit Red Wings in 2008 and coached Canada to gold at the 2010 and 2014 Winter Olympics. He was hired by the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2023 but resigned before the season started after some players complained he violated their privacy by asking them to show him videos from their phones during private conversations. Babcock replaces Craig Knoblauch, who led Edmonton to two consecutive Stanley Cup finals but failed to advance past the first round this year. The Oilers are expected to rely heavily on star player Connor McDavid.
