The Edmonton Oilers Hall of Fame is going to have another two additions come Oct. 25, prior to a game versus the Pittsburgh Penguins. As per a release on the team’s official site, the two new members who will be enshrined, are Craig MacTavish and Randy Gregg.

MacTavish has a long and proud association with the Oilers, both as a player and a coach. The former centre is 10th in team history with 701 games played, produced 331 points and, most importantly of all, was part of three Stanley Cup-winning sides in 1987, 1988 and 1990.

The London, Ontario native would return to the Oilers as an assistant coach in 1999, going on to become head coach between 2000-01 and 2008-09. As one of the top five coaches in team history, he compiled a 301-252-103 record and in 2005-06 took the team to their first Stanley Cup Final since 1990, albeit they fell one win short of reclaiming hockey’s Holy Grail.

On top of all this, MacTavish also spent time as the team’s senior vice president of hockey operations and then general manager. He is forever linked with the Oilers, and thoroughly deserves his induction into their Hall of Fame.
