On August 10th, the hockey world lost one of our favourite fans, Ben Stelter.

Ben lost his battle with Glioblastoma, a brain tumor which was quite rare for children of his age.

Playing La BAMBA every hour on the show tomorrow morning!!! A great start to Ben's 6th birthday and to help wake Edmonton up after a long night!!! #Goilers #HappyBirthdayBen #yeg

Ben was a huge Oilers fan and the Edmonton Oilers made him a big part of their playoff run last year, which I think I speak for all of us when I say:

Thank you to the Edmonton Oilers for all you did to make this young mans final few months as special as they were.

Ben wanted to make a video for the @EdmontonOilers last night. Good try Oilers, we'll get em next year! This was so much fun! Thank you for all of the love for Ben! To us, this is the best franchise in sports with a great group of guys and girls on and off the ice! #Yeg pic.twitter.com/7kC92FBC26� Mike Stelter (@m_dan25) June 7, 2022

Last night the Edmonton Oilers had their season opener against the Vancouver Canucks and in a 5-3 victory, Connor McDavid scored a hattrick and added an assist to get his 700th and 701st point in the NHL.

When asked about this milestone and the team win, McDavid dedicated it all to Ben.
