The Edmonton Oilers have recently announced their selection of Charlie Huddy and Doug Weight as the 2023 inductees for the Edmonton Oilers Hall of Fame. This decision was made in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the team and the sport of hockey.

Charlie Huddy was a defenseman for the Edmonton Oilers from 1980 to 1991 and played a key role in the team’s success during the 1980s. He was part of five Stanley Cup-winning teams with the Oilers and was known for his solid defensive play and hard slapshot. After his playing career, Huddy went on to become a successful assistant coach in the NHL, winning two more Stanley Cups with the Dallas Stars and the Los Angeles Kings.

Doug Weight, on the other hand, was a center for the Oilers from 1993 to 2001 and was also a key part of the team’s success in the late 1990s. He was known for his playmaking ability and leadership on and off the ice.

Both Huddy and Weight are deserving of this honour, as they were instrumental in the success of the Edmonton Oilers during their respective eras. Their contributions to the team and the sport of hockey have not gone unnoticed, and their induction into the Edmonton Oilers Hall of Fame is a testament to their achievements.

The induction ceremony for Huddy and Weight will take place on October 26th before the Oilers-Rangers game and is sure to be a memorable event for Oilers fans and hockey enthusiasts alike. It will be a time to celebrate the accomplishments of these two great players and to reflect on the rich history and tradition of the Edmonton Oilers franchise.
