Lowe served as the team’s head coach, general manager, and later, as vice chair and alternate governor. He was also a board member on the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation.
The team said he’ll continue on as an Oilers ambassador, supporting “initiatives of the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation and Oilers Alumni” and fans and partners.
“Kevin Lowe has been an integral part of the Edmonton Oilers for over 40 years and will continue to be connected to the organization as Oilers ambassador,” said Edmonton Oilers chairman Bob Nicholson.
“Very few have had the impact that Kevin has had, both on and off the ice.
“He exemplifies leadership and has done so much to help connect the organization with our fans, while supporting so many worthwhile causes in our community,” Nicholson said in a news release.
