Read excerpt
EDMONTON – Mike Babcock’s hiring by the Edmonton Oilers has been a distraction in more ways that one. It created a storm of controversy because of his history. A storm reignited by Oilers legend Mark Messier saying he was “horrified” by the hiring.

EDMONTON – When Tyrell Ford was growing up in Niagara Falls, Ont., his offensive skills got to a point where he decided he needed a new challenge. So he gave up carrying and catching the football to try his hand at defence. His talents on that side of the ball have developed to the point where the Edmonton Elks made him the highest paid defensive back in the CFL when they signed him as free agent in April 2025.
