Thousands of people sign an online petition urging the Edmonton Oilers to reverse the team’s signing of Alex Formenton. Global News reports the petition surpasses 19,000 signatures as of Friday morning, while the Winnipeg Free Press says the number of signatories reaches the thousands.
The petition targets the Oilers specifically, calling for the organization to reconsider its decision regarding Formenton. Both outlets treat the signing as the central trigger for public action and describe the effort as a petition rather than a formal league or legal process. While the articles focus on the petition’s growing support and its direct message to the team, they do not cite additional procedural steps or outcomes tied to the Oilers’ response in the information provided.
Overall, the outlets align on the existence of the petition, its rapidly growing signature count, and its aim: to prompt the Oilers to reconsider their deal with Formenton.
