Oilers New Coaching Staff Implement First Big Change to the Teams Locker room

In a notable shift under the newly appointed assistant coach, Paul Coffey, the Edmonton Oilers have implemented a change in their locker room dynamics.

The decision involves positioning all the defense players next to each other, signifying a strategic adjustment in team cohesion.

The move, discussed and endorsed by head coach Derek Knoblauch and Coffey, reflects a collaborative effort to foster a sense of unity among the defensive unit. Interestingly, this adjustment aligns with Knoblauch's established practice dating back to his time in junior hockey.

As the Oilers embark on this organizational tweak, fans and pundits will be observing how this change in locker room arrangement influences team dynamics and on-ice performance in the games to come.
