Edmonton Oilers' Octane Cheerleading Squad Disbanded

When the Edmonton Oilers move into their new digs at Rogers Place later this year, they won't be bringing their cheerleaders with them.



The team is looking to move in a "new direction" when it comes to engaging fangs, the Oilers Entertainment group confirmed in a statement Tuesday.



Instead, both men and women will be invited to audition for the team's new “Orange and Blue Ice Crew.” The group would represent the Oilers organization at “games, events, and appearances throughout the community.”



In 2010, the Oilers became the first Canadian NHL franchise to have a cheerleading squad.



The Ottawa Senators are the only Canadian team who still have an in-house all-female cheer squad.

Oilers Entertainment Group confirms the discontinuation of the Oilers Octane. The organization is looking for a new direction related to the fan experience, both in-game and in the community, as we head to Rogers Place for our inaugural season. Details will be announced in the coming weeks. We extend a sincere thank you to all members of Oilers Octane past and present, in particular Dr. Mailie Harris, for their contribution to the organization.

ZTE's Axon 7 is a $400 champ that'll easily competes with Samsung

ZTE first made a splash with the Axon name last year by sending out mysterious press invites teasing what eventually became the Axon Pro. 

The Axon Pro was a respectable first attempt at a flagship-caliber, budget-friendly smartphone. But it ultimately had issues with overheating and wound up being forgettable.

After using the Axon 7 for a week, it's apparent ZTE took the lessons learned from the Axon Pro and applied them here. For a $399 unlocked phone, the Axon 7 punches way above its weight class and easily competes with phones that cost almost twice as much.
