Kings offer bullied Edmonton Oilers fan trip back to L.A. for Game 6

After she was bullied at an Edmonton Oilers vs. Los Angeles Kings playoff game in L.A., the club wants Cecily to come back to the city to watch another game.

The Los Angeles Kings are offering to fly a young Edmonton Oilers fan out to cheer on her team in Game 6 this weekend.

Normally, hockey clubs don’t encourage fans of rival teams to attend games — let alone fly them out — but this situation was anything but normal.

There was an uproar on social media this week after Cecily Eklund was harassed at Game 3 in L.A. on Friday.

Cecily is a cancer survivor and has dedicated her life to raising money for other children dealing with the disease. Through the Ben Stelter Fund’s Magical Experience program, she was gifted the trip to L.A.

But part of the trip turned out less than magical when she was swore at and spit on during the game, according to Cecily’s mother Cathy.

Oiler Evander Kane, who calls Cecily his dear friend, brought attention to the incident on social media Tuesday.

“This type of behaviour is gross and completely unacceptable,” he wrote on Instagram.

“Grow up, and as this smart young lady always says, be kind.”
