OEG Sports & Entertainment (OEGSE) has announced a new partnership with Karbon-X that will see the Karbon-X logo prominently displayed on the Edmonton Oilers’ away jerseys for every road game throughout the 2026-27 NHL season. This collaboration underscores the commitment of both organisations to sustainability and the Northern Alberta energy sector.
Stew MacDonald, President and Chief Revenue Officer of OEGSE, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “The Oilers and OEGSE are excited to partner with an industry leader like Karbon-X. Featuring the Karbon-X logo on the Oilers away jerseys is a testament to our longstanding roots, history and partnerships with all the organisations, working families, and Oilers fans in the Northern Alberta energy sector who are helping power our country into the future.”
Karbon-X, known for its innovative approaches to carbon management, works alongside various energy companies, including several based in Alberta, to empower both businesses and individuals in their efforts to reduce carbon emissions. By fostering strategic partnerships and developing meaningful projects globally, Karbon-X aims to simplify the process for everyone to contribute towards a more sustainable future.
Chad Clovis, CEO of Karbon-X, highlighted the importance of this partnership, stating, “At Karbon-X, our focus is on supporting actions that balance the reality of emissions with meaningful efforts to offset and manage them effectively. We are already working with a number of energy companies in Alberta to help them reduce their carbon footprint, and we are proud to begin a new partnership with the Edmonton Oilers that will see the Karbon-X logo featured on the iconic jerseys that mean so much to the city, the region, and hockey fans worldwide. We thank OEGSE and the Oilers for this opportunity and look forward to our partnership.”
The agreement not only showcases the Karbon-X logo on the Oilers’ away jerseys but also sets the stage for OEGSE to collaborate with Karbon-X to evaluate its own operations in order to identify opportunities for reducing its carbon footprint. This dual focus on brand visibility and environmental responsibility illustrates the commitment both organisations have to fostering sustainability within the sports and entertainment industry.
The partnership comes at a time when the importance of corporate responsibility and sustainability is at the forefront of many industries, particularly in energy-dependent regions like Northern Alberta. By aligning with Karbon-X, OEGSE and the Oilers are taking a proactive approach to address climate concerns while also engaging their fanbase in a meaningful way.
As part of the NHL’s growing emphasis on sustainability, this partnership could serve as a model for other teams and organisations looking to make a positive environmental impact. With the Karbon-X logo set to feature on Oilers jerseys, fans can expect to see a visible commitment to sustainability throughout the upcoming NHL seasons.
In summary, the collaboration between OEG Sports & Entertainment and Karbon-X marks an exciting development for the Edmonton Oilers, bringing together sports and sustainability in a way that resonates with fans and the community alike. This partnership not only highlights the Oilers’ dedication to the Northern Alberta energy sector but also reinforces the vital role that sports can play in advocating for a more sustainable future.
