A petition calling on the Edmonton Oilers to undo their signing of player Formenton had drawn thousands of signatures as of Friday, The Globe and Mail reports.
The Globe and Mail published its report on the petition on September 11, 2026. According to the outlet, the petition asks the NHL club to reverse the signing.
The Globe and Mail's headline did not specify the total number of signatures collected, and no further details about the petition's organizers or the team's response were included in the available reporting.
The petition adds public pressure on the Oilers over a roster decision. The Globe and Mail's coverage frames the signing as the subject of a fan-led campaign, though the outlet's summary did not include comment from the team or from Formenton.
What to watch next: whether the Oilers respond to the petition and whether the number of signatures continues to grow.
