    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.

He’s OK with it,

    EDMONTON – Edmonton’s CFL franchise has won 14 Grey Cup championships, and the one constant in those years was domination at home.

    EDMONTON – Riding the high of a three-game win streak and first place in the CFL West Division, the Edmonton Elks are on the verge of going where the team hasn’t been in six years — the playoffs.

    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.
