Zach Hyman Shares Heartfelt Message with Oilers Fans After Devastating Injury News
The Edmonton Oilers will be without one of their key players for the Stanley Cup Final, as star forward Zach Hyman has been ruled out due to a broken wrist. Hyman recently underwent surgery and will be sidelined until the start of next season — a major blow to the team and fans alike.
Despite the heartbreak of not being able to suit up for the biggest games of the year, Hyman took to Instagram with an emotional message for Oilers fans.
“This week’s been tough, but I’m incredibly grateful to be back in the Stanley Cup Final,” Hyman wrote. “Thank you to everyone who reached out with support — it truly means a lot. I can’t wait to support the boys in any way I can.”
The injury is especially gutting for Hyman, who has been a cornerstone of the Oilers’ playoff run. Known for his tireless forechecking, scoring prowess, and physical presence, Hyman’s absence will be deeply felt both on and off the ice.
Still, his leadership remains unwavering. Following the Oilers’ Conference Final victory, the team immediately FaceTimed Hyman to include him in the celebration. It’s a testament to how much he means in the locker room. He was also the first to publicly declare that the team would return to the Cup Final this season — a promise fulfilled, though not the way he hoped.
As the Oilers chase the ultimate prize, fans and teammates alike will surely feel Hyman’s absence — but his spirit and support will continue to drive the team forward. A player like Hyman embodies what it means to be an Edmonton Oiler: heart, resilience, and team-first attitude.
