Ryan Whitney Stockton Thunder (ECHL) The 2010–11 Edmonton Oilers season was the 32nd season of play for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on June 22, 1979, and 39th season of play including their play in the World Hockey Association.
The Oilers posted a regular season record of 25 wins, 45 losses, and 12 overtime/shootout losses for 62 points and last place in the 30 team league, failing to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs for the fifth consecutive season.
A documentary on the season was produced for TSN titled Oil Change.
