The Oilers Octane is the cheerleading team for the NHL team the Edmonton Oilers. The team was the first Canadian cheerteam in NHL history.[2] The debut of the cheerleaders had a mixed reaction from the Edmontonian community, some signing petitions to keep cheerleading out of the sport of hockey in Canada while others supported the team.[3] Despite this, the team performed for the first time on December 14, 2010 in a home game against the Toronto Maple Leafs.[4][5][6] The first team had 19 cheerleaders, dressed in uniforms that resembled the original Edmonton Oilers jerseys.[7]
