In pictures: Oilers alumni take to the ice in Yellowknife

Four Edmonton Oilers alumni lined up alongside some of Yellowknife’s finest athletes in a Hockey NWT fundraiser on Saturday afternoon.

Team Blue, with former Oilers Georges Laraque and Charlie Huddy on board, ultimately triumphed over Team White, which lined up alongside Ben Scrivens and Andrew Ference.

Come for the Edmonton Oilers alumni, stay for the children trying to reach a puck. Andrew Ference, Ben Scrivens, Georges Laraque and Charlie Huddy spent Saturday playing alongside Yellowknifers to raise money for Hockey NWT.

The game was a closely contested affair until the final few minutes, when Blue pulled away with quickfire back-to-back goals and an empty netter.

You can find the full rosters for each team on Hockey NWT’s Facebook page.

“Laughter, legends, and a whole lot of Oilers pride on the ice. Huge thanks to everyone who made this unforgettable moment possible,” Hockey NWT wrote online at the event’s conclusion.

Here are some of our favourite shots from the game.
