Oil Kings to Honour Local Hero
Edmonton, AB – The Oil Kings will kick off their Eastern Conference Semi-Final series against the Medicine Hat Tigers on Friday, April 5th at Rexall Place. Joining the Oil Kings will be a pair of very special guests – local hero Adam Shaw and his dog Rocky.
The Fort Saskatchewan resident and his dog were recently recognized for their incredible rescue efforts saving a pair of young children from the North Saskatchewan River this past week. Edmonton fans will have a chance to give Shaw and Rocky a hero’s welcome when they drop the puck on the second round series between Edmonton and Medicine Hat.
Game time for Game 1 is set for 7:00 p.m. with doors opening at 6:00 p.m. Advance ticket prices in the second round of the playoffs will start at just $20. Fans are encouraged to purchase their tickets in advance to save compared to ‘day of game’ pricing. Tickets will be available at Ticketmaster outlets, the Rexall Place Box Office or online at OILKINGS.CA.
