Coxe is noted for scoring the first regular season goal for the San Jose Sharks, as well as his years of tough physical play.

"We've been contacting players, and as word has spread, they have been some of our best recruiters," Oilers general manager Taylor Hall (who is also a former Oiler player and will play in the game) said."We're seeing a lot of enthusiasm for this game from our fans and the players. It's kind of hard to tell who's more excited, the fans about seeing the old players, or the players about coming back and getting together with everyone."

Tickets for the alumni evening are $10 for Oiler season ticket holders and $15 dollars for non season ticket holders. The ticket includes admission to the game and a post game party with the players where fans will be able mingle, take pictures and get autographs.
