Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Wayne Gretzky — The entry states Gretzky won 7 Art Ross Trophies with Edmonton, but he actually won 10 Art Ross Trophies in total (7 with Edmonton and 3 with Los Angeles). The 'Major Honours' section incorrectly limits the count to Edmonton.

Wayne Gretzky — The entry states he led the league in goal-scoring five times, but Gretzky led the NHL in goals four times (1981-82, 1983-84, 1984-85, 1986-87). He did not lead five times.

Paul Coffey — The claim that Coffey was the last defenceman in the 20th century to score four goals in one game is false; Al Iafrate and others did it later.

1985 Stanley Cup Run — The claim that 'Dave Semenko scored the last goal in WHA history in that final game' is incorrect; the last goal was scored by Rich Preston.

1985 Stanley Cup Run — The claim that 'The 1984–85 Edmonton Oilers were voted the NHL's Greatest Team in its first 100 years' is inaccurate; it was a panel selection, not a vote.

Rexall Place — The entry implies the first event at the arena was the Oilers' home opener, but the first event was actually the Canadian Finals Rodeo on November 8, 1974.

Rexall Place — The name reverted to Northlands Coliseum in September 2016, not summer 2016.

Northlands Coliseum — The entry states 'demolition expected to begin summer 2026 and complete by 2028' in STATS, but demolition plans have been delayed and no official start date is confirmed, making this a speculative claim presented as fact.

Hockey Night in Canada — The entry states the program broadcast until 2026, but this is a future date that has not occurred; the factual end date is not established in real-world canon.

Hockey Night in Canada — The entry claims instant replay made its world debut on a 1955 HNIC broadcast, but the first use of instant replay in a hockey broadcast is widely attributed to a 1955 Hockey Night in Canada broadcast, though the exact date and claim of 'world debut' are dispu

Edmonton Oilers Foundation — The Edmonton Oilers were founded in 1972 as the Alberta Oilers, not in 1971.

Edmonton Journal — The entry states the Journal's print edition is printed Tuesday to Saturday, but the Edmonton Journal currently publishes a print edition Monday to Saturday (with no Sunday print edition), and the description 'Tuesday to Saturday' is incorrect for the standard
