Pocklington’s Historic Edmonton Home Up for Auction | Toronto News
Description
A historic Edmonton mansion once owned by Peter Pocklington—Oilers legend and meatpacking mogul—is headed to auction next month after years of unpaid taxes. With eight bedrooms, a river-view pool, and a wild past (including an 11-hour hostage ordeal in 1982), the property is steeped in local lore. Pocklington’s legacy is complex: he built Oilers glory but also sparked controversy with Gretzky’s trade and later legal troubles. The city seeks $143K in back taxes; if no buyer steps up, the house hits the block at market value plus debt—a chance for a bold buyer to own a slice of Edmonton’s dramatic history.
