Many Canadians grow up around hockey, but one baby took it to a new level by making the arena his delivery room. During the Edmonton Oilers’ matchup against the Las Vegas Knights on Saturday, April 4, a woman went into labor and gave birth inside Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta. Sportsnet reported live after the second period that the woman had gone into labor on the seventh floor. “So someone’s going to have a great story to tell,” play‑by‑play sportscaster Jack Michaels said on the broadcast, before joking, “It would be nice to have the mother join us on ‘After Hours’ to describe what’s happened, but that could be asking a bit much.” The Oilers’ 5–1 loss to their division rivals left fans with little to celebrate aside from the arrival of their newest fan. The mother, who has not been identified, did not appear on the post‑game broadcast. It remains unclear whether she received assistance during the delivery or who was with her at the game. NBC has reached out to a representative for Rogers Place for comment.
