Ben Stelter is a legend among both the Oilers organization and the fan base. He first arrived on the scene in 2022, when he captured the hearts of players and fans alike with his joyous personality while fighting cancer. The six-year-old became a mainstay for the team that season and was among the highlights of the team’s playoff run to the Western Conference Finals that year.
Sadly, Ben lost his fight with cancer in August 2022, inspiring the creation of the Ben Stelter Foundation, which aims to help families of kids with cancer.
The raffle also includes a variety of early-bird prizes including a new Ford Bronco, Zach Bryan concert tickets, lower cash prizes, and various Oilers tickets and merchandise.
Those prizes will be drawn throughout the day with the winning jackpot number set to be announced following Tuesday night’s Oilers game against the Vegas Golden Knights.
You can still get in on the action. Ticket sales for the raffle will be open until 11 pm MT on Tuesday and can be made online by visiting the Oilers Community Foundation’s website.
