“I hope to be able to do something great with this club,” says 63-year-old.”
“Ken Holland is strongly associated with Detroit. The former goalkeeper has been in the club since 1985 and been a lot of different roles, most recently as general manager.”

” I thought I would stay in Detroit for life. At the same time, I have always said that I never become restless, and lately I have actually known me restless, ” he says, according to the Detroit Free Press.”
“the Edmonton Oilers offered him a five year worth a total of $ 25 million, thus approximately sek 240 million with today’s exchange rate.”
“But Holland points out that the challenge to make the Edmonton Oilers to a Stanley Cup contender again is it that attracts the most.”
“– My feeling is that there are great opportunities for me to put a positive imprint in this society. There is already a foundation to stand on, now it’s about to build on it, ” says Holland.”
“Edmonton has been one of the team several times the last few years and they have others Connor McDavid in their team. Yet they manage to not take the step from the bottom to the top.”
“Now, Ken Holland steer the ship in the right direction.”
“– He knows how to build a vinnarkultur. We were looking for someone with experience, someone who can step in with determination and to put an immediate imprint. We do not employ Ken Holland for what he’s done earlier in his career, but for what he can do for the Edmonton Oilers in the here and now and in the coming years, says Oilers owner Daryl Katz.”
“The first thing Ken Holland do is to confirm that the current coach – the 67-year-old Ken Hitchcock, who sits on the outgoing contract, will not be retained as head coach.”
