"We understand this is a serious issue in our state and want the Oilers to do our part in helping the awareness," general manager Taylor Hall said. "Obviously it's important for athletes to maintain a drug free lifestyle and this event can help spread that word about the dangers. We're glad to do whatever we can."
This event continues a relationship the Oilers have cultivated in the area of drug and alcohol awareness/prevention.
"We had (goaltender) Kevin St. Pierre work with us creating several alcohol prevention Public Service Announcements over the holidays and he was a perfect spokesman," Gina Cooper, prevention specialist for ROCMND-Tulsa APRC said. "It's great the Oilers recognize this responsibility and have taken the lead in our community on these matters. We're looking forward to having them join us on the 13^th ."
