Breaking news: Edmonton in need of hot women

http://oilers.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=541197


In news that will shock nobody, Edmonton is in need of attractive women. They are apparently putting together a cheer team (First Canadian team to spit on hockey tradition and chase the boobies. It won't be the last Canadian team to do this.) that will enhance the in game entertainment.

Now normally I would have a lot to joke about, about how saying this will be the only good thing in Edmonton compared to their on ice product, but the Oilers look like they might actually have a future. Will Steve Tambellini and Kevin Lowe screw this up somehow? God willing, yes, but until then, I live in fear of the day Eberle scores last minute goal after last minute goal, while Hall racks up 40 goals, thus proving that ugly people that look vaguely alien can score, too.

I did like this quote from the article, however:

 "This is another example of the Oilers responding to the wishes of our valued customers,” said Patrick LaForge, Edmonton Oilers President and CEO. “The Oilers Cheer Team will elevate the level of entertainment and further enhance the in-game experience. In addition, Oilers Cheer Team will also be active contributors in the community reaching out with special events and fundraising initiatives throughout Oil Country.”



Gee, hockey fans....made up mostly of males.....were asking for hot ladies, eh? That's pretty amazing. I assume the next step will be stripper poles and bird cages. Then once again we can bask in the Oilers 'listening to thier customers' with more ground breaking ideas.

They've basically set up hockeys version of Hooter girls. Around ice cold temperatures. Well played Oilers, well played.
