EDMONTON - Peter Chiarelli has taken over as president of hockey operations and general manager of the Edmonton Oilers.
“I don’t have to talk about what he’s done in the National Hockey League,” said Oilers Entertainment Group CEO Bob Nicholson. “His record speaks for itself.”
“I have thoughts, I have ideas, I have a lot of things going on … I’m really excited to be a part of this,” said Chiarelli, who was recently fired by the Boston Bruins after eight seasons as their GM.
