Throwback: Rogers Place Arena Tour – February 23, 2026

On Monday, February 23, 2026, our group enjoyed an unforgettable behind-the-scenes tour of Rogers Place.

We stepped off the concourse and into the action — walking through the Players’ Tunnel, sitting on the team bench, exploring the press level, and visiting the Oilers Hall of Fame. It was a true insider experience and a fantastic afternoon shared together.

Take a look at some highlights from our visit below.

22 of our seniors joined the tour and had a fantastic afternoon exploring Rogers Place together.
