Overall a really great family experience!!
by JesseJ on 2023-03-21Rogers Place - EdmontonRating: 4 out of 5I purchased tickets directly behind the Oil Kings bench for my sons 11th birthday. Heās a die hard hockey kid and was blown away being so close to the players as he hopes to sit in their spot one day. The coach and players winked, waved and high-fived him through the glass multiple times, which honestly made his year. The only stain on our day was the couple that was WAY over served at the bar and stumbled down to the row behind us during the third period, to have an incredibly awful drunk argument while throwing drinks and food belonging to the other patrons who had been seated there the whole game. The episode frightened my son and his friend, and they were both hit with an exploding orange pop the wasted adult male threw, while having a hissy fit when his also wasted adult female partner refused to answer him during the argument. No fault of the Oil Kings, but 100% fault of bar staff for over serving. They were beyond intoxicated and couldnāt even walk back up the stairs on their own. Itās unfortunate that it happened, but otherwise we really enjoyed the game, the atmosphere, and the event in general.
