The Edmonton Oilers have appointed Mike Babcock as their new head coach, replacing Kris Knoblauch after his dismissal post-Stanley Cup Finals. Babcock, who last coached in the NHL during the 2019-20 season with the Toronto Maple Leafs, faced scrutiny for past conduct that led to a brief tenure with the Columbus Blue Jackets. The NHL cleared him for employment after investigating those allegations. Babcock brings a wealth of experience, including two Olympic gold medals with Team Canada and over 700 NHL wins.
