The Edmonton Oilers don't retire numbers often, and that's exactly what makes it so meaningful. Each banner hanging in Rogers Place represents a player who didn't just contribute to the team but helped define what it means to be an Oiler.
#11 - Mark Messier (retired February 27 2007) (Hall of Fame)
Mark Messier wore number 11 as the heart and engine of the Oilers dynasty, bringing a physical intensity and championship will that made him one of the most respected leaders in hockey history. He was a driving force on multiple Stanley Cup championship teams in Edmonton, combining skill with a ferocity that teammates and opponents both felt. The Oilers retired his number in recognition of a player who proved that greatness isn't only measured in points but in the spirit you bring to every shift.

#99 - Wayne Gretzky (retired October 1 1999) (Hall of Fame)
Wayne Gretzky's number 99 was retired not just by the Edmonton Oilers but by the entire NHL, a tribute so rare it speaks for itself. As an Oiler, Gretzky rewrote the record books and delivered multiple Stanley Cup championships to Edmonton, turning a young franchise into a dynasty that captured the imagination of hockey fans around the world. No conversation about the greatest player who ever lived begins anywhere other than here, and no banner in Rogers Place carries more weight than his.
