Rogers Place president Stu Ballantyne said Oilers fans are ‘very passionate’ and the city is ‘on the world stage right now, so it’s on all of us’
Police are promising a greater presence in downtown Edmonton after increased violence around the Oilers arena during this year’s NHL playoff season.
Rogers Place president Stu Ballantyne said Oilers fans are “very passionate” and the city is “on the world stage right now, so it’s on all of us.” When Ballantyne was asked about the possibility of ticketing the watch party, he said they wouldn’t be considering that as an option. Police responded to a weapons complaint near the arena on Saturday where it was reported that multiple people had been stabbed. A man brandishing a knife was shot by police, sustaining serious injuries and being taken to hospital. Two people were also taken to hospital with critical and serious injuries but remain stable.
“We’re going to continue to scale up based on what the need is,” said McFee, adding that between 30 and 40 extra officers were present in recent games.
