In a surprising development that has caught the attention of fans across the country, the Edmonton Oilers organization has officially announced a new policy regarding membership in their official fan group. According to a statement released early this morning, the team will be removing inactive members from the group as part of a broader effort to maintain engagement, community spirit, and active participation among supporters.
The announcement, titled “Stay Active or Get Removed”, quickly spread across social media platforms, sparking a wave of reactions from devoted fans. The Oilers’ management explained that this move aims to strengthen communication between the team and its true supporters, ensuring that every member of the group is genuinely involved in ongoing discussions, events, and fan activities.
“Over the past season, we’ve seen tremendous growth in our online and in-person fan communities,” the official statement read. “However, we’ve also noticed a growing number of inactive accounts members who joined but haven’t participated in months. To keep our fan base vibrant and connected, we’re conducting a full membership review. Fans who wish to remain part of the official group must confirm their active status by stating their state, province, or region”
Within minutes of the announcement, thousands of passionate fans began commenting, proudly declaring where they were from in order to stay active. From Alberta to Ontario, from the U.S. to fans overseas, social media feeds were flooded with messages like Still here from Calgary!”and “Loyal Oilers fan from Texas! The outpouring of support demonstrated just how deeply connected the Edmonton Oilers fan community truly is.
Some fans, however, expressed mixed feelings about the sudden move. A few questioned whether removing inactive members was necessary, suggesting that some people might still follow the team quietly without always engaging online. “Not everyone comments, but that doesn’t mean we’re not fans,” one long-time supporter wrote. “We cheer every game from home. Hopefully, they understand that.”
Despite these concerns, team officials insist the decision is not about exclusion but about creating a stronger, more interactive space for loyal fans. “We want this group to be a place where voices are heard, where energy flows, and where the Oilers spirit lives,” said a spokesperson for the organization. “Those who engage help shape the culture that makes this fan base so special.”
The announcement has also encouraged a wave of renewed excitement. Many fans view this as a reminder of what makes the Edmonton Oilers community unique a family built not just on winning games but on shared pride, loyalty, and unity.
As the review continues, members are being urged to take action immediately by commenting or posting their state to confirm their activity. With thousands already responding, the campaign has become more than just a group cleanup it’s a powerful reaffirmation of what it means to be part of the Oilers Nation.
