Hotels for Edmonton Oilers vs. Winnipeg Jets

A Sunday evening in the Canadian division, with two provinces' worth of pride on the line. This fixture carries the old Smythe Division needle: Alberta versus Manitoba, a rivalry built on decades of playoff meetings and bad blood that never quite fades. Expect a fast, physical pace from the opening shift, with the crowd noise building through the third period if the score stays close. A Sunday slot means an earlier night for most, but no less bite on the ice.

Rogers Place anchors the ICE District, the glass-and-steel entertainment quarter built around Edmonton's downtown core, home to the NHL's Oilers and, over the 2026-27 holidays, primary venue for the IIHF World Junior Championship. The surrounding blocks are new and walkable, packed with restaurants, bars and an outdoor plaza that fills for big games.

Edmonton's river valley trails and the Alberta legislature grounds are a short walk further out. Light rail and downtown buses stop right by the arena. Staying downtown puts the rink, the ICE District's nightlife and the rest of the city within easy reach on foot.
