Saturday's scrimmage will see all Oilers wearing no. 12, with jerseys later auctioned off for Colby Cave Memorial Fund
In this Nov. 2, 2019, file photo, Edmonton Oilers' Colby Cave returns to the bench after scoring during the second period of an NHL hockey game against the Pittsburgh Penguins in Pittsburgh.Emily Cave plans to have a special gift waiting for players when the Edmonton Oilers wrap up training camp.
Emily won’t be able to make direct contact with any of the players due to the physical distancing restrictions from the COVID-19 pandemic. So she’s decided to leave a personal letter and token of appreciation in their stalls to show her appreciation and support for the team.“That’s my way of thanking them for the support they’ve given, wish them good luck and let them know Colby is proud of his teammates and brothers, and we can’t wait to cheer them on,” Emily said Friday on a conference call.
Saturday’s scrimmage will see all players wearing Cave’s No. 12, with the jerseys being auctioned at a later date to raise money for the Colby Cave Memorial Fund — a charity started in Colby’s honour that will have funds go towards community programs, with an emphasis on mental health initiatives and providing access to sports for underprivileged children.
Oilers coach Dave Tippett is also excited for the scrimmage before his team opens up a best-of-five play-in series against the Chicago Blackhawks on Aug. 1.
