Join us for a coffee and chat with Tim Shipton, the Executive Vice President of the Oilers Entertainment Group Communications and Gaming.
Tim Shipton's journey from Barrhead, Alberta, to the Executive Vice President of the Oilers Entertainment Group is a fascinating tale of dedication and passion. His roots in a small town upbringing and his political science education at the U of A laid the foundation for his impactful career.
Having been accepted into both Engineering and Political Science from high school, Tim chose his political science degree and after graduating from the University of Alberta, had an opportunity to work oversees or stay in his home Province to work at the Alberta Legislature where he eventually worked directly with Premier Ralph Klein. Tim contributed to the formation of the Alberta Enterprise Group and showcased his commitment to promoting Alberta businesses provincially, nationally and internationally.
Joining forces with Darryl Katz in the development of the Ice District and the OEG marked a pivotal moment in Tim's career. Since then, he has been instrumental in shaping the OEG's vision and spearheading various projects. Tim's insights into the Oilers, the vibrant culture they nurture, and the strong community they have built resonate deeply. The unwavering loyalty of their fanbase stands as a testament to the remarkable journey Tim and the OEG have embarked on, creating a legacy that continues to thrive.
