From Red Deer to Downtown: Free watch parties for Oilers' Game 6 against Florida Panthers
If you're hoping to get to Rogers Place to watch Game 6 on the big screen and don't have a ticket yet, you're out of luck. Article content The indoor watch party, with ticket proceeds going to the Oilers Community Foundation, is sold out. If you want to get to the Moss Pit, you'll need to line up well ahead of the 6 p.m. face-off time. Article content Article content But there are other family-friendly options, with free admissions, that are happening in and around the city. Article content If you do want to watch the game in an arena atmosphere, and on a giant screen, you could always make the 90-minute drive down south to Red Deer. The doors open at 5:30 p.m. at the Marchant Crane Centrium, where the game will be shown at the home of the Western Hockey League's Red Deer Rebels. Price of admission? A donation of non-perishable goods for the local food bank. Article content Jaiden Foster, an administrative assistant at Westerner Park, said previous watch parties have attracted 150 to 200 fans. Article content 'But we're hoping for a much bigger turnout tomorrow,' she said. Article content And, in a place that's halfway between Edmonton and Calgary, where the NHL loyalties are divided between the Oilers and Flames, are there fans at the Centrium who will be cheering against Edmonton, because it's the most Calgary thing they can do. Let's face it, if we lived in a Bizarro universe where the Flames were in the Cup final, could dyed-in-the-wool Oilers fans bring themselves to cheer for that team in red? Article content Article content 'We bring in a diverse group,' said Foster. 'But the majority of them are Oilers fans.' Article content Article content 'Hoping to get a good one' Article content If Red Deer is too far, the Starlite Room is located Downtown, just a couple of blocks south of the Rogers Place mayhem. The venue is hosting a watch party, doors open at 5:30 p.m., and admission is free. Minors are welcome. The game will be shown on a 16-foot by nine-foot screen. There will be food, drinks, and DJs will play music during breaks in the action. Article content 'We're continuing to do them, hoping to get a good one,' he said. 'If we go to Game 7, I think it will be good. Tomorrow might be OK, hopefully.'

‘An epic journey': Cyclists riding across Canada in honour of Terry Fox
The National Ride of Hope Peloton is being done in honour of the 45th anniversary of Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope A group of eight cyclists are crossing the country to raise funds for cancer research. The 'National Ride of Hope Peloton' is also honouring the 45th anniversary of Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope. 'The more money we collect will continue to fund research, in hopes of what Terry was going after in 1980, the cure for cancer,' said Adam Belanger, a member of the cyclist team. The team plans to cross Canada in 32 days, riding 220 kilometers a day, scheduled to end in Newfoundland July 10th. The team crossed Saskatchewan Monday, making stops in Swift Current, Moose Jaw, Regina and Carlyle. Terry's brother Darrell is among the eight cyclists taking part in the ride. He says it is a daunting challenge, but it needed to be in honour of the original marathon and what his brother accomplished. 'He proved to us that limitations are self-imposed. That is something we have learned from the last 45 years,' said Fox. Terry Fox began the Marathon of Hope April 12, 1980 with the goal to raise $1 million for cancer research. Since then, runs across the country have been held in Fox's honour, raising more than $850 million. 'It's an epic journey that we're on,' said Belanger. 'Obviously the physical effort, but there are far harder journeys that people go through when it comes to cancer.' 'The more that we can get behind the efforts of curing cancer, that will really show our heart,' he added.
