Announcers

When Rod Phillips took over the duties of calling Edmonton games on the radio, the organization found its voice. Phillips, a Hockey Hall of Fame inductee, has been the Oilers Play-by-Play man since the team’s second season in the old World Hockey Association back in 1973-74. His excitement has been infectious to listeners ever since. Phillips replaced Edmonton radio legend Bryan Hall, who made his name covering the Eskimos of the Canadian Football League. "Hallsy" called hockey games during the Alberta Oilers’ inaugural 1972-73 season.
