Vernon’s Ken Holland not returning as GM of the Oilers
Big news from the National Hockey League — especially from a local perspective.
Edmonton Oilers general manager Ken Holland — who is from Vernon — will not have his contract renewed.
The team announced the move Thursday, calling it a mutual decision.
Jeff Jackson, the Oilers’ chief executive officer of hockey operations, said in a statement that Holland helped build a winning culture in Edmonton and made the Alberta capital a destination for NHL players.
