I know you're kidding, but for those who don't know, the Oilers original owner was Bill Hunter. The mascot is named after him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the Oilers marketing department ran some focus groups with a bunch of 12 year olds, and Hunter the Lynx is what they chose (according to Sportsnet or TSN; I can't remember exactly who said it). Maybe it was Sam Katz's kid (you know, the one who looks like Ronald McDonald and carries the jersey to the draft podium) who made the call.

That sounds reasonable, but that's not what the local news outlets are saying about the name. Maybe the focus group picked the animal and the team picked the name?

brilac Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I'm still trying to put together what a lynx has to do with oil? I don't get it. When I think of Edmonton, other than how I feel about the Oilers, oil comes to mind, oh and how there are direct flights to Edmonton from Seattle.
