The Oilers are an organization steeped in tradition. One of the great Oiler traditions is the season kick-off Pasta Dinner. The Pasta Dinner occurs after the walk-through on the final practice before the 1st regular season game of the season. The players, coaches, and occasionally family members meet back at the VFW for a meal ripe with carbs as one last bonding event before we go into battle for the 1st game of the season.
The evening usually includes with the rookies providing the entertainment via the "Rookie Idol" contest. The dinner and performances are a great tradition taht helps bring teh team closer together and emphasizes that we are not just 40 or so disconnected players and coaches, rather we are a family that care about each other, which is what sets the Oilers apart from many other sports teams.
